ICD-10 Code F15.129 – Other stimulant abuse with intoxication, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F15.129 – Other stimulant abuse with intoxication, unspecified
What it is
This code identifies stimulant abuse with intoxication when the specific stimulant is not named. It indicates recent use causing intoxication, but the record does not specify the substance beyond “other stimulant.”
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common intoxication findings may include agitation, anxiety, talkativeness, insomnia, or increased alertness, but you should code only what is documented.
When to use this code
Use F15.129 when the provider documents stimulant abuse with intoxication and does not identify a more specific stimulant. It also fits when the chart supports intoxication from a non-cocaine stimulant, but the exact drug remains unspecified. Check documentation for the substance and whether intoxication is explicitly stated.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for stimulant dependence, stimulant use without intoxication, or cocaine-related disorders. If the record names a specific stimulant or another substance class, choose the more precise code.
Coding tip
Look for both abuse and intoxication in the same note; if either element is missing, you may need another code.
