Other stimulant use, unsp with intoxication, unspecified

This code signifies a diagnosis of stimulant use disorder involving substances other than cocaine or methamphetamine, where the specific stimulant is not documented. The patient is experiencing acute intoxication, but the specific signs and symptoms of that intoxication are not detailed in the medical record.

Use this code when documentation indicates stimulant use and intoxication, but the specific stimulant (e.g., ecstasy, bath salts) is not identified, and the specific intoxication symptoms are also unstated. This code is appropriate when a provider notes "stimulant intoxication, unspecified" without further detail on the substance or the clinical presentation of the intoxication.

• Do not use if the specific stimulant (e.g., cocaine, methamphetamine) is known; use a more specific F14 or F15 subcategory.
• Requires documentation of both stimulant use and intoxication, even if unspecified.
• Sequence this code first if the intoxication is the primary reason for the encounter.
