ICD-10 Code F15.13 – Other Stimulant Abuse with Withdrawal (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F15.13 – Other stimulant abuse with withdrawal
What it is
Use this code for stimulant abuse with a documented withdrawal state. It indicates harmful stimulant use, such as amphetamine-type or other stimulants, followed by symptoms after reduction or stopping.
Clinical signs
Typical withdrawal features include fatigue, sleep disturbance, depressed mood, increased appetite, and psychomotor slowing. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Assign F15.13 when the provider documents stimulant abuse and withdrawal together. Use it for encounters focused on withdrawal symptoms after stopping or cutting back stimulant use. You should not infer withdrawal from use alone; the record must support it.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for stimulant dependence, intoxication, or uncomplicated stimulant use without withdrawal. Check documentation if the provider describes a different substance or a more specific stimulant-related diagnosis.
Coding tip
Code the documented stimulant type and the withdrawal state exactly as recorded; do not assume the substance or severity.
