Oth psychoactv sub use, unsp w intox w perceptl disturb

This code signifies a diagnosis of substance use disorder involving a psychoactive substance not otherwise specified, where the patient is currently experiencing intoxication. A key feature of this intoxication is the presence of perceptual disturbances, such as hallucinations or illusions. This indicates an acute effect of the substance on sensory processing.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient is under the influence of an unspecified psychoactive substance and exhibits signs of intoxication, specifically including perceptual disturbances. This applies when the specific substance cannot be identified, but its psychoactive effects are evident. Supporting documentation would include clinician notes detailing intoxication symptoms and the presence of hallucinations, illusions, or other sensory distortions.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "perceptual disturbance" during intoxication; otherwise, a different intoxication code may be more appropriate.
• Only use this code when the specific psychoactive substance is unknown or not documented. If the substance is known (e.g., cannabis, cocaine), a more specific F1x.922 code should be used.
• Consider sequencing this code as a primary diagnosis when the intoxication is the reason for the encounter, or as a secondary diagnosis if another condition is the primary reason for admission/visit.
