Hallucinogen abuse with unsp hallucinogen-induced disorder

This code signifies a pattern of problematic hallucinogen use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, where the specific hallucinogen-induced mental disorder is not documented or cannot be determined. It indicates a diagnosis of hallucinogen abuse without specifying a particular hallucinogen-induced psychotic, mood, anxiety, or other defined disorder.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates hallucinogen abuse, but the associated hallucinogen-induced disorder is either not specified by the clinician or is described in a way that does not align with more specific ICD-10-CM codes. This is appropriate when the provider notes "hallucinogen abuse with unspecified hallucinogen-induced disorder" or similar language.

• Do not use this code if a more specific hallucinogen-induced disorder (e.g., hallucinogen-induced psychotic disorder) is documented.
• Ensure the documentation supports "abuse" rather than "dependence" or "use" without impairment.
• Consider sequencing this code as a secondary diagnosis if the primary reason for the encounter is treatment of a specific physical or mental health condition exacerbated by or related to the hallucinogen abuse.
