Oth psychoactive substance dependence w unsp disorder

This code signifies a patient's physiological and psychological dependence on a psychoactive substance other than alcohol, opioids, cannabis, sedatives, hypnotics, anxiolytics, stimulants, hallucinogens, or inhalants. The dependence is accompanied by a co-occurring mental or behavioral disorder directly induced by the substance, but the specific induced disorder is not documented or cannot be further specified.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates dependence on an unspecified psychoactive substance, and there's an associated, but unspecified, substance-induced mental health condition. This is appropriate when the clinician has identified a substance-induced disorder but has not specified its nature (e.g., "substance-induced psychosis, NOS" or "substance-induced mood disorder, NOS").

• Do not use this code if the specific psychoactive substance or the specific induced disorder is clearly documented; instead, code to the highest level of specificity.
• Always sequence the substance dependence code first, followed by any specific substance-induced mental disorders if known.
• Avoid using this code if the documentation only indicates substance abuse without dependence.
