ICD-10 Code F12.11 – Cannabis abuse, in remission (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F12.11 – Cannabis abuse, in remission
What it is
F12.11 identifies cannabis abuse that is no longer active and is documented as in remission. Use it when the record shows a past pattern of problematic cannabis use, but current abuse is not present.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Records may note prior cannabis misuse, reduced or absent use, and no current evidence of active abuse. Current dependence, intoxication, or withdrawal should be coded separately if documented.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician documents cannabis abuse in remission, such as a follow-up visit for a resolved substance use problem. It also fits when the history is important to current care and the provider clearly states remission. Check documentation for whether the remission is early or sustained if that detail is recorded.
Do not use for
Do not use F12.11 for active cannabis abuse, dependence, intoxication, or withdrawal. If the chart only says “history of cannabis use” without abuse or remission, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code remission only when the provider explicitly documents it; otherwise, query or code the documented current status.
