Oth stimulant use, unsp w intox w perceptual disturbance

This code signifies a diagnosis of unspecified stimulant use disorder, where the specific type of stimulant is not documented, and the patient is currently experiencing intoxication accompanied by perceptual disturbances. Perceptual disturbances can include hallucinations (auditory, visual, tactile), illusions, or other distortions of sensory input.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates stimulant intoxication with associated perceptual disturbances, but the specific stimulant (e.g., amphetamine, methamphetamine, cocaine) is not identified. This is appropriate for acute presentations in emergency departments or inpatient settings where the substance is unknown, but the clinical picture of intoxication with perceptual changes is evident.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "unspecified stimulant" or lacks identification of a specific stimulant type.
• Confirm the presence of perceptual disturbances during the intoxication episode, as this differentiates it from simple intoxication.
• Sequence this code as the primary diagnosis when it is the reason for the encounter, followed by any associated physical or mental health conditions.
