Hallucinogen dependence w oth hallucinogen-induced disorder

This code signifies a patient's physiological or psychological dependence on hallucinogenic substances, accompanied by another specific hallucinogen-induced mental disorder not otherwise specified. This could include conditions like hallucinogen-induced anxiety disorder, mood disorder, or psychotic disorder, where the hallucinogen use is clearly the etiological factor. The dependence indicates a pattern of compulsive use despite negative consequences, often with tolerance or withdrawal symptoms.

Use this code when documentation clearly states a diagnosis of hallucinogen dependence alongside a co-occurring, distinct hallucinogen-induced mental health condition. This applies when the specific induced disorder (e.g., psychosis, anxiety) is identified but doesn't have its own dedicated ICD-10-CM code for hallucinogen-induced disorders. Supporting documentation would include a psychiatric evaluation detailing both the dependence criteria and the specific induced disorder.

• Ensure the documentation specifies both dependence and a distinct, other hallucinogen-induced disorder.
• Do not use this code if the hallucinogen-induced disorder is specified elsewhere (e.g., F16.250 for hallucinogen-induced psychotic disorder with delusions).
• Always sequence the substance use disorder code first when it is the primary reason for the encounter or treatment.
