Oth psychoactv sub use, unsp w w/drawal w perceptl disturb

This code signifies a patient experiencing withdrawal symptoms, including perceptual disturbances (e.g., hallucinations, illusions), due to the use of a psychoactive substance that is not specified further. The specific substance causing the withdrawal is unknown or undocumented.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates withdrawal from an unspecified psychoactive substance, and the patient exhibits perceptual disturbances. This is appropriate when the provider has not identified the specific substance involved, but the withdrawal and perceptual symptoms are present.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "perceptual disturbance" in the context of withdrawal.
• Avoid using this code if the specific psychoactive substance is known; instead, use the substance-specific withdrawal code.
• This code should be sequenced as a primary diagnosis when it is the reason for the encounter, or as a secondary diagnosis if it's a co-occurring condition.
