2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F15.150 – Other stimulant abuse with stimulant-induced psychotic disorder with delusions

What it is

This code identifies stimulant abuse with a psychotic disorder marked by delusions. Use it when the record links stimulant use to psychotic symptoms, and the substance is not cocaine or another more specific stimulant category.

Clinical signs

Typical findings include fixed false beliefs, paranoia, and behavior influenced by those beliefs. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the specific stimulant involved and whether the psychosis is substance-induced.

When to use this code

Use F15.150 when documentation states stimulant abuse caused delusions or stimulant-induced psychosis with delusions. It may apply during an acute intoxication-related episode or when the clinician explicitly diagnoses a substance-induced psychotic disorder. Check documentation if the substance type is unclear.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for stimulant use without psychosis, or for psychosis not linked to stimulant abuse. Do not assign it when the record specifies a different substance or a more specific diagnosis.

Coding tip

Verify both the stimulant-related abuse and the delusional psychosis are documented before assigning this code.
