ICD-10 Code F15.11 – Other Stimulant Abuse, in Remission (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F15.11 – Other stimulant abuse, in remission
What it is
F15.11 identifies a history of other stimulant abuse that is currently in remission. You use it when the patient is not actively abusing stimulants, but the diagnosis remains clinically relevant.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Records may note prior stimulant misuse, reduced or absent current use, and remission status based on the provider’s assessment.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician documents other stimulant abuse as in remission, including partial or full remission if specified in the record. It applies when the substance use disorder is no longer active but remains part of the patient’s history and assessment. Check documentation for the exact stimulant and remission status.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for active stimulant abuse, stimulant dependence, or unspecified stimulant-related disorders. If the record does not clearly state remission, check documentation before coding.
Coding tip
Code only when the provider explicitly documents remission; otherwise, the status is not assumed.
