ICD-10 Code F15.122 – Other Stimulant Abuse with Intoxication with Perceptual Disturbance (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F15.122 – Other stimulant abuse with intoxication with perceptual disturbance
What it is
This code identifies abuse of another stimulant, such as amphetamines or related substances, with acute intoxication and perceptual disturbance. Use it when stimulant use causes altered perception, but not a full psychotic disorder.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings include euphoria, agitation, anxiety, insomnia, and hallucination-like perceptual changes during intoxication.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record documents stimulant abuse plus intoxication and perceptual disturbance. The provider should link the perceptual symptoms to recent stimulant use. If the chart only notes stimulant use without intoxication details, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use it for uncomplicated stimulant abuse, stimulant dependence, or stimulant-induced psychotic disorder. If the substance is unspecified or the perceptual disturbance is not documented, verify the record before coding.
Coding tip
Look for both the substance class and the intoxication complication before assigning F15.122.
