Inhalant depend w inhalnt-induce psych disorder w delusions

This code signifies a patient diagnosed with a physiological dependence on inhalants, experiencing psychotic symptoms characterized by delusions directly attributable to their inhalant use. The dependence indicates a pattern of compulsive inhalant seeking and use despite harmful consequences, while the psychotic disorder manifests as fixed, false beliefs.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates both inhalant dependence and an active inhalant-induced psychotic disorder with delusions. This typically occurs in patients presenting with acute psychiatric symptoms, such as paranoia or grandiose beliefs, where a direct causal link to inhalant intoxication or withdrawal is established by a clinician. Supporting documentation includes psychiatric evaluations, substance use assessments, and toxicology reports.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "dependence" on inhalants, not just abuse or use.
• Confirm that delusions are present and are directly attributed to the inhalant use, ruling out other primary psychotic disorders.
• Sequence this code first if the inhalant-induced psychotic disorder is the primary reason for the encounter.
