Oth psychoactv substance depend w psychotic disorder, unsp

This code signifies a patient's physiological and psychological dependence on a psychoactive substance (excluding alcohol, opioids, cannabis, sedatives, hypnotics, anxiolytics, cocaine, other stimulants, and hallucinogens), which has led to the development of a psychotic disorder. The specific psychoactive substance is not identified in the documentation.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates dependence on an "other" or unspecified psychoactive substance, and the patient is concurrently experiencing substance-induced psychosis. This diagnosis requires a causal link between the substance use and the psychotic symptoms, and the specific substance is not detailed.

• Ensure documentation specifies "dependence" rather than "abuse" or "use" for the substance.
• Only use this code when the specific psychoactive substance is truly unspecified or falls outside the more specific categories (e.g., F11-F16, F18).
• Sequence this code as the primary diagnosis if the substance dependence and induced psychosis are the primary reason for the encounter.
