ICD-10 Code F15.91 – Other Stimulant Use, Unspecified, in Remission (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F15.91 – Other stimulant use, unspecified, in remission
What it is
This code identifies a history of stimulant use disorder involving other stimulants, with the condition currently in remission. Use it when the patient is not actively meeting criteria for stimulant use disorder.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. In remission, the record may note past stimulant misuse, reduced craving, and absence of current intoxication, withdrawal, or active compulsive use.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents other stimulant use disorder as in remission and does not specify the stimulant type. It may apply in follow-up, behavioral health, or primary care notes that confirm past disorder with current remission. Check documentation for whether remission is early or sustained.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for active stimulant use, intoxication, withdrawal, or unspecified substance use without remission. If the record identifies a specific stimulant or another substance category, code the documented condition instead.
Coding tip
Code remission only when the provider clearly states it; otherwise, check documentation for active use or a more specific stimulant diagnosis.
