ICD-10 Code F15.120 – Other Stimulant Abuse with Intoxication, Uncomplicated (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F15.120 – Other stimulant abuse with intoxication, uncomplicated
What it is
This code identifies stimulant abuse with current intoxication, without documented complications. Use it when the record shows a stimulant-related intoxicated state and does not specify a more severe or complicated presentation.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common intoxication findings may include agitation, talkativeness, restlessness, anxiety, or impaired judgment after stimulant use.
When to use this code
Use F15.120 when the provider documents abuse of a stimulant with intoxication and no associated complication. It fits encounters where the intoxication is the active issue and the chart does not describe delirium, psychosis, or another coded complication. Check documentation if the substance is not clearly identified as a stimulant.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for stimulant dependence, withdrawal, or intoxication with complications. Also avoid it when the record does not support abuse or when the stimulant type is documented more specifically and a different code applies.
Coding tip
Confirm both abuse and intoxication are documented; if the note is vague, query the provider before coding.
