2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F14.90 – Cocaine use, unspecified, uncomplicated

What it is

This code identifies cocaine use without a more specific pattern, complication, or separate cocaine-related disorder. It is used when the record states cocaine use but does not document abuse, dependence, intoxication, or withdrawal.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Records may note cocaine use history, admitted use, or a positive screen, but the chart must support the diagnosis being coded.

When to use this code

Use F14.90 when the clinician documents cocaine use and no further detail is available. It also fits when the note does not specify intoxication, withdrawal, or a cocaine-induced condition. If the provider later clarifies a more specific disorder, code that instead.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for cocaine intoxication, withdrawal, abuse, dependence, or cocaine-induced mental or physical disorders. Check documentation if the record describes a distinct substance-related diagnosis.

Coding tip

Code the most specific cocaine-related diagnosis documented; if specificity is missing, use F14.90 only after confirming the chart supports simple use.
