ICD-10 Code F12.250 – Cannabis dependence with psychotic disorder with delusions (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F12.250 – Cannabis dependence with psychotic disorder with delusions
What it is
This code identifies cannabis dependence with a psychotic disorder marked by delusions. Use it when the record shows both dependence and a psychotic syndrome linked to cannabis use.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include delusional beliefs, impaired reality testing, and other psychotic symptoms occurring in the setting of cannabis dependence. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician documents cannabis dependence and specifically links the psychotic disorder to delusions. It is appropriate when the chart supports a cannabis-related psychotic presentation, not just intoxication or use. Check documentation for the causal relationship and symptom type.
Do not use for
Do not use it for cannabis use without dependence, or for psychotic symptoms not documented as cannabis-related. Do not assign it if the record only states hallucinations, intoxication, or unspecified psychosis.
Coding tip
Verify that both dependence and delusions are documented before assigning F12.250.
