Other stimulant abuse with other stimulant-induced disorder

This code signifies a pattern of problematic stimulant use, excluding cocaine and methamphetamine, that leads to clinically significant impairment or distress, and is accompanied by an additional stimulant-induced mental or behavioral disorder. This could include conditions like stimulant-induced psychosis, anxiety disorder, or mood disorder.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates abuse of stimulants other than cocaine or methamphetamine, and there's a co-occurring mental or behavioral disorder directly attributed to the stimulant use. This requires a definitive diagnosis of both the stimulant abuse and the specific stimulant-induced disorder.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "abuse" rather than "dependence" or "use" to accurately reflect the F15.1- category.
• Verify that the stimulant involved is explicitly not cocaine or methamphetamine; otherwise, a more specific code (e.g., F14.188 or F16.188) would be appropriate.
• Always sequence the stimulant-induced disorder code (e.g., F15.188) first, followed by the specific stimulant-induced mental disorder (e.g., F15.121 for stimulant-induced psychotic disorder with delusions).
