ICD-10 Code F12.91 – Cannabis use, unspecified, in remission (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F12.91 – Cannabis use, unspecified, in remission
What it is
This code identifies a history of cannabis use disorder that is currently in remission. It means the patient previously met criteria for cannabis-related problems, but the condition is not active now.
Clinical signs
Active symptoms are absent or greatly reduced, and the chart should show remission rather than current use disorder. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use F12.91 when the record documents cannabis use disorder in remission without specifying abuse or dependence. It fits follow-up visits, problem lists, or behavioral health notes that clearly state remission. Check documentation if the record does not confirm the status.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for current cannabis use, intoxication, withdrawal, or cannabis-induced disorders. It is also incorrect when the documentation only says “history of use” without stating remission.
Coding tip
Code remission only when the provider explicitly documents it; otherwise, query or check documentation.
