ICD-10 Code F19.12 – Other psychoactive substance abuse with intoxication (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F19.12 – Other psychoactive substance abuse with intoxication
What it is
F19.12 identifies abuse of a psychoactive substance not classified elsewhere, with current intoxication. Use it when the record shows harmful use plus acute intoxication from that substance.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Intoxication may include altered behavior, impaired judgment, mood changes, or reduced coordination, along with evidence of substance abuse.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents abuse of an unspecified or other psychoactive substance and states that intoxication is present. It fits encounters focused on the acute effects of use, not withdrawal or dependence alone. Check documentation for the exact substance and whether intoxication is confirmed.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for dependence, uncomplicated abuse without intoxication, or intoxication from a specifically coded substance. If the substance or clinical state is unclear, check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify both the abuse diagnosis and the intoxication component before assigning F19.12.
