Oth psychoactv substance depend w psych disorder w hallucin

This code signifies a patient's physiological and psychological dependence on a psychoactive substance (excluding alcohol, opioids, cannabis, sedatives, hypnotics, anxiolytics, cocaine, stimulants, and hallucinogens) that has led to the development of a psychotic disorder characterized by hallucinations. The hallucinations are directly induced by the substance use.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates dependence on an unspecified psychoactive substance and the presence of substance-induced hallucinations. This requires a definitive link established by the clinician between the substance use and the psychotic symptoms. Supporting documentation would include a psychiatric evaluation, substance use history, and mental status examination findings.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "dependence" and not just "abuse" or "use" for the psychoactive substance.
• Confirm the psychotic disorder is explicitly stated as "substance-induced" and includes "hallucinations."
• Do not use this code if the substance is identified as alcohol, opioids, cannabis, sedatives, hypnotics, anxiolytics, cocaine, stimulants, or hallucinogens; specific codes exist for those substances.
