ICD-10 Code F15.12 – Other stimulant abuse with intoxication (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F15.12 – Other stimulant abuse with intoxication
What it is
This code identifies abuse of other stimulants with current intoxication. Use it when the patient is acutely affected by stimulant use and the record supports abuse rather than dependence or use without intoxication.
Clinical signs
Clinical features may include agitation, restlessness, euphoria, talkativeness, anxiety, or impaired judgment. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use F15.12 when the provider documents stimulant abuse and intoxication, such as after recent use with acute behavioral or mental status changes. Apply it when the substance is a stimulant other than cocaine and the note clearly supports intoxication.
If the chart only says stimulant use, abuse history, or intoxication without linking them, check documentation before coding. You should also confirm the record does not describe dependence, withdrawal, or another more specific stimulant-related diagnosis.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for stimulant dependence, stimulant withdrawal, or cocaine-related disorders. Check documentation if intoxication is not clearly stated.
Coding tip
Code the specific stimulant-related diagnosis exactly as documented, and query when abuse and intoxication are not explicitly linked.
