2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F12.19 – Cannabis abuse with unspecified cannabis-induced disorder

What it is

Use this code for cannabis abuse when the record also documents a cannabis-induced disorder, but the specific disorder is not identified. It signals a cannabis-related clinical problem beyond simple use.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see cannabis misuse with associated mental, behavioral, or physical symptoms, but the chart does not name the exact induced disorder.

When to use this code

Use F12.19 when the provider documents cannabis abuse and an unspecified cannabis-induced disorder in the same encounter. This is appropriate when the note confirms a cannabis-related disorder but does not specify intoxication, delirium, psychotic disorder, or another defined condition.

Do not use for

Do not use this code if the record identifies a different cannabis-induced disorder, such as intoxication or psychotic disorder. Check documentation if the chart only says cannabis use without abuse or an induced disorder.

Coding tip

Code the most specific cannabis-induced disorder documented; if it is not stated, use F12.19 only when the record clearly supports an unspecified induced disorder.
