Oth psychoactive substance use, unsp w oth disorder

This code signifies a patient's problematic pattern of use of a psychoactive substance (other than alcohol, opioids, cannabis, sedatives/hypnotics/anxiolytics, stimulants, hallucinogens, or inhalants) that has led to a clinically significant impairment or distress, and is also associated with another specific psychoactive substance-induced mental disorder. The specific psychoactive substance is not identified, and the severity of the use disorder is not specified.

Use this code when documentation indicates a patient is experiencing an unspecified psychoactive substance use disorder, and simultaneously presents with another mental disorder directly induced by the use of this unspecified substance. This applies when the specific substance cannot be identified, or the documentation is insufficient to classify it more precisely, and the associated induced disorder is also not specified further.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the induced mental disorder to the unspecified psychoactive substance use.
• Avoid using this code if a more specific substance (e.g., caffeine, phencyclidine) or induced disorder (e.g., psychosis, anxiety) is documented.
• Always attempt to query for more specific information regarding the substance and the induced disorder to allow for more precise coding.
