2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F15.988 – Other stimulant use, unspecified with other stimulant-induced disorder
What it is
This code identifies stimulant use involving an unspecified stimulant, with a related stimulant-induced disorder that is not otherwise named. Use it when the record links stimulant use to a specific induced condition, but details remain limited.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Records may describe mood changes, anxiety, psychotic symptoms, intoxication, or withdrawal that are attributed to stimulant use.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents other stimulant use, does not name the stimulant, and also documents a stimulant-induced disorder. It may fit emergency, behavioral health, or inpatient notes where the substance-related condition is clear but the exact stimulant is not. Check documentation for the specific induced disorder.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for stimulant use without a documented stimulant-induced disorder. Do not assign it when the stimulant is specified and a more precise code is available.
Coding tip
Confirm both elements in the note: unspecified stimulant use and a documented stimulant-induced disorder.
