ICD-10 Code F15.93 – Other Stimulant Use, Unspecified with Withdrawal (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F15.93 – Other stimulant use, unspecified with withdrawal
What it is
This code identifies withdrawal symptoms related to stimulant use when the specific stimulant is not documented or is classified as other stimulant use. It reflects a clinically recognized withdrawal state after stopping or reducing stimulant use.
Clinical signs
Common findings include fatigue, low mood, sleep disturbance, increased appetite, and psychomotor slowing. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record documents stimulant withdrawal but does not name a more specific stimulant or substance. It may also apply when the clinician records “other stimulant use” with withdrawal symptoms. Check documentation for the exact substance and whether a more specific code is available.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for stimulant intoxication, dependence without withdrawal, or withdrawal from a specifically named stimulant when a more specific code exists. Do not guess the substance if the record is unclear.
Coding tip
Confirm both the stimulant category and the withdrawal state in the note before assigning F15.93.
