ICD-10 Code F12.22 – Cannabis dependence with intoxication (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F12.22 – Cannabis dependence with intoxication
What it is
Use this code for cannabis dependence when the patient is also acutely intoxicated. It indicates a pattern of dependence plus current cannabis-related impairment or behavioral change.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings may include intoxication-related altered judgment, attention, coordination, or mood, along with evidence of cannabis dependence.
When to use this code
Use F12.22 when the record clearly documents both cannabis dependence and intoxication at the same encounter. It fits visits where the clinician links current intoxication to the dependent use pattern. If the note does not confirm both elements, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for cannabis use without dependence, or for intoxication alone. If the chart only says abuse, uncomplicated use, or another cannabis-related disorder, choose the documented diagnosis instead.
Coding tip
Confirm that dependence and intoxication are both explicitly documented in the same record before assigning F12.22.
