ICD-10 Code F12.259 – Cannabis dependence with psychotic disorder, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F12.259 – Cannabis dependence with psychotic disorder, unspecified
What it is
This code identifies cannabis dependence with a psychotic disorder that is not further specified. Use it when the record shows both dependence and psychotic symptoms linked to cannabis use, but the exact psychotic subtype is not documented.
Clinical signs
Typical findings may include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking, or 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 provider documents cannabis dependence and also documents psychosis, psychotic disorder, or substance-induced psychotic disorder without naming a specific type. It is appropriate when the chart supports a causal relationship to cannabis use. If the psychotic disorder is specified elsewhere, code the documented condition instead.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for cannabis use without dependence, or for psychotic symptoms not linked to cannabis. Check documentation if the record describes intoxication, withdrawal, or a different substance-related disorder.
Coding tip
Confirm both dependence and psychosis are documented; if the psychotic type is named, code the more specific diagnosis.
