Oth stimulant use, unsp with unsp stimulant-induced disorder

This code signifies a patient's problematic pattern of stimulant use, such as amphetamines or other unspecified stimulants, that has led to a clinically significant impairment or distress. The specific stimulant is not documented, and the resulting stimulant-induced disorder (e.g., psychosis, anxiety, mood disorder) is also not specified.

Apply this code when documentation indicates a stimulant use disorder without specifying the exact stimulant (e.g., "stimulant abuse," "stimulant dependence") and without detailing the specific stimulant-induced mental or behavioral disorder. This code is appropriate when the provider has not documented a more specific F15.xx subcategory.

• Avoid using this code if the specific stimulant (e.g., amphetamine, methamphetamine) or the specific stimulant-induced disorder is documented; instead, choose a more precise F15.xx code.
• This code represents both the use disorder and an unspecified induced disorder; do not code an additional mental health disorder unless it is clearly documented as independent of the stimulant use.
• Ensure documentation supports a "use disorder" (e.g., dependence, abuse, problematic use) rather than just casual use.
