ICD-10 Code F15.181 – Other stimulant abuse with stimulant-induced sexual dysfunction (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F15.181 – Other stimulant abuse with stimulant-induced sexual dysfunction
What it is
This code identifies abuse of other stimulants when the stimulant use has caused a sexual dysfunction. It tells you both the substance problem and the drug-induced sexual effect are documented.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly, the record links stimulant misuse with impaired sexual function, such as reduced desire, arousal, or performance, and notes the dysfunction as drug-induced.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician documents stimulant abuse and specifically states that the sexual dysfunction is caused by the stimulant. It may appear in behavioral health, addiction, or general medical notes. Do not assume causation without clear documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for stimulant dependence, uncomplicated stimulant use, or sexual dysfunction without a documented stimulant cause. Check documentation if the record does not clearly connect the two conditions.
Coding tip
Assign the code only when both abuse and stimulant-induced sexual dysfunction are explicitly documented together.
