Oth stimulant dependence w stim-induce sexual dysfunction

This code signifies a patient's physiological and psychological dependence on stimulants (excluding cocaine, amphetamines, and methamphetamines, which have their own specific codes) that has led to sexual dysfunction. The dependence is characterized by a compulsive pattern of stimulant use despite harmful consequences, and the sexual dysfunction is directly attributable to the stimulant use.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of dependence on stimulants such as methylphenidate, modafinil, or other specified stimulants, and a co-occurring sexual dysfunction (e.g., erectile dysfunction, anorgasmia, decreased libido) that the clinician has linked as a direct consequence of the stimulant use. Supporting documentation should include a substance use disorder assessment and a clinical evaluation of sexual function.

• Ensure the specific stimulant is not cocaine (F14.281), amphetamine (F15.281), or methamphetamine (F15.281), as these have distinct codes.
• Verify that the sexual dysfunction is explicitly documented as "stimulant-induced" to differentiate it from other causes.
• Sequence this code as the primary diagnosis if the stimulant dependence and its induced sexual dysfunction are the primary reason for the encounter.
