Oth stimulant dependence w unsp stimulant-induced disorder

This code signifies a patient's physiological or psychological dependence on a stimulant other than cocaine, methamphetamine, or amphetamine, accompanied by an unspecified mental or behavioral disorder directly induced by the stimulant use. This includes dependence on substances like ecstasy (MDMA), khat, or synthetic cathinones ("bath salts"), where the specific stimulant-induced disorder (e.g., psychosis, anxiety disorder) is not documented or clearly identified.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates dependence on a stimulant not otherwise specified, and there is an associated, but unspecified, stimulant-induced mental or behavioral health condition. This applies when the clinician notes "stimulant dependence with stimulant-induced disorder, type unspecified" or similar phrasing for a non-specified stimulant.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "dependence" rather than "abuse" or "use" for the stimulant.
• Do not use this code if the specific stimulant (e.g., cocaine, amphetamine) or the specific stimulant-induced disorder (e.g., stimulant-induced psychotic disorder) is documented.
• Always review the medical record for more specific codes for both the stimulant and the induced disorder before assigning this unspecified code.
