ICD-10 Code F12.222 – Cannabis dependence with intoxication with perceptual disturbance (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F12.222 – Cannabis dependence with intoxication with perceptual disturbance
What it is
Use this code for cannabis dependence when the patient is intoxicated and has perceptual disturbance, such as altered sensory experience or misperception. It indicates both dependence and an intoxication-related mental effect.
Clinical signs
Documented findings may include cannabis intoxication with impaired judgment, altered perception, or unusual sensory experiences. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Assign this code when the record clearly states cannabis dependence and intoxication with perceptual disturbance. Use it for encounters where the perceptual symptoms are linked to current cannabis use, not to another psychiatric or neurologic condition. Check documentation if the chart does not specify both dependence and intoxication.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for uncomplicated cannabis dependence, cannabis abuse, or cannabis use without intoxication. Do not apply it when perceptual symptoms are better explained by another diagnosis.
Coding tip
Confirm that the provider documents both dependence and perceptual disturbance during intoxication before assigning F12.222.
