Inhalant abuse w inhalant-induced psychotic disorder, unsp

This code signifies a patient diagnosed with a pattern of harmful inhalant use, characterized by recurrent use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, and who is also experiencing psychotic symptoms directly attributable to the inhalant use. The specific type of inhalant-induced psychotic disorder is not specified in the documentation.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates both inhalant abuse and a co-occurring psychotic disorder where the psychosis is determined to be a direct physiological consequence of the inhalant use. This requires a physician's diagnostic statement linking the psychosis to the inhalant abuse.

• Ensure documentation specifies "abuse" rather than "dependence" or "use" to align with the code's specificity.
• Verify that the psychotic disorder is explicitly linked as "inhalant-induced" and that no further specification of the psychotic disorder (e.g., with delusions, with hallucinations) is provided.
• Do not use this code if the psychotic disorder is pre-existing or unrelated to the inhalant use; instead, code both conditions separately.
