Oth stimulant use, unsp with oth stimulant-induced disorder

This code signifies a patient's problematic pattern of use of stimulants other than cocaine or amphetamines (e.g., caffeine, ecstasy, bath salts) that has led to a clinically significant impairment or distress, without further specification of the stimulant or the induced disorder. The "unspecified" nature indicates that the specific stimulant or the exact nature of the stimulant-induced disorder (e.g., psychosis, anxiety, mood disorder) is not documented.

Use this code when documentation indicates a patient is experiencing a disorder due to the use of a stimulant other than cocaine or amphetamines, but the specific stimulant is not identified, and the precise stimulant-induced disorder is also not specified. This code is appropriate when the provider notes "other stimulant use disorder with induced disorder" without further detail.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states "other stimulant" and not cocaine or amphetamine, and that an "induced disorder" is present but unspecified.
• Avoid using this code if the specific stimulant (e.g., caffeine, ecstasy) or the specific induced disorder (e.g., stimulant-induced psychotic disorder) is known and documented; more specific codes exist.
• Always review the medical record for any additional details that might allow for a more precise code selection, as "unspecified" codes should be a last resort.
