Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly, the chart may describe problematic use, impaired control, or substance-related social or functional problems without evidence of intoxication or withdrawal.
When to use this code
Assign F19.10 when the provider documents abuse of an unspecified or other psychoactive substance and states it is uncomplicated. Use it for encounters focused on substance misuse when no associated disorder is recorded. Check documentation if the substance type or complication status is unclear.
Do not use for
