ICD-10 Code F14.20 – Cocaine dependence, uncomplicated (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F14.20 – Cocaine dependence, uncomplicated
What it is
F14.20 identifies cocaine dependence without a specified complication. Use it when the record shows a dependence syndrome, but no intoxication, withdrawal, or other cocaine-related condition is documented.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common dependence findings include strong craving, loss of control over use, tolerance, and continued use despite harm.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician documents cocaine dependence and does not describe a current complication or associated disorder. It fits cases where dependence is the primary coded diagnosis and the note is otherwise uncomplicated. Check documentation if intoxication, withdrawal, or cocaine-induced mental or physical effects are mentioned.
Do not use for
Do not use F14.20 for cocaine abuse, cocaine intoxication, withdrawal, or cocaine-induced disorders. If the chart shows a specific complication, code that condition instead.
Coding tip
Confirm the wording “dependence” in the assessment, because “use” or “abuse” alone does not support this code.
