Oth stimulant dependence with oth stimulant-induced disorder

This code signifies a patient's physiological or psychological dependence on stimulants other than cocaine or amphetamines, such as caffeine or other specified stimulants, coupled with a co-occurring mental or behavioral disorder directly induced by the stimulant use. This induced disorder could manifest as psychosis, anxiety, mood disturbance, or other specified conditions.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of dependence on a stimulant not otherwise specified (e.g., caffeine, ephedrine, or other prescribed stimulants) and simultaneously identifies a specific mental health condition (e.g., stimulant-induced psychotic disorder, stimulant-induced anxiety disorder) that is directly attributable to the stimulant use. The medical record should specify both the stimulant and the induced disorder.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "dependence" and not just "abuse" or "use."
• Confirm the stimulant is explicitly identified as "other" and not cocaine or amphetamine.
• Verify that a specific stimulant-induced mental health disorder is documented, not just general symptoms.
