Oth stim depend w stim-induce psych disorder w delusions

This code signifies a patient's physiological and psychological dependence on stimulants (excluding cocaine and methamphetamine, which have their own specific codes), accompanied by a stimulant-induced psychotic disorder characterized by delusions. The individual experiences compulsive stimulant use despite harmful consequences, alongside false, fixed beliefs not amenable to reason.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of stimulant dependence and a co-occurring psychotic disorder where delusions are present and directly attributable to stimulant use. Supporting documentation should include a psychiatric evaluation confirming both the dependence and the stimulant-induced delusional psychosis.

• Ensure the stimulant causing dependence is not cocaine (F14.250) or methamphetamine (F15.850), as these have distinct codes.
• Verify that the psychotic features are specifically delusions and are directly linked to stimulant use, not an independent psychiatric disorder.
• Sequence this code as the primary diagnosis when the stimulant dependence and induced psychosis are the focus of the encounter.
