The ICD-10 code for Cannabis dependence with unspecified cannabis-induced disorder is F12.29.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F12.29 – Cannabis dependence with unspecified cannabis-induced disorder

What it is

F12.29 identifies cannabis dependence when the record also shows a cannabis-induced disorder, but the specific induced condition is not named. Use it when documentation supports dependence and a related cannabis-induced psychiatric or other disorder, without further detail.

Clinical signs

Findings may include compulsive cannabis use, difficulty cutting down, and continued use despite harm. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the specific induced disorder and dependence criteria.

When to use this code

Use this code when the provider documents cannabis dependence plus an unspecified cannabis-induced disorder, and no more specific induced diagnosis is available. It is appropriate when the chart confirms a cannabis-related disorder but does not identify whether it is psychotic, anxiety-related, sleep-related, or another type. Check documentation if the induced condition is described elsewhere.

Do not use for

Do not use it for cannabis use without dependence, or when the record names a specific cannabis-induced disorder that can be coded more precisely. Do not assign it if the induced condition is unsupported or unrelated to cannabis.

Coding tip

Code the dependence and the induced disorder only as documented; if the induced condition is specified, choose the more exact code instead of F12.29.
