ICD-10 Code F15.188 – Other Stimulant Abuse with Other Stimulant-Induced Disorder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F15.188 – Other stimulant abuse with other stimulant-induced disorder
What it is
Use this code for stimulant abuse when the patient also has another stimulant-induced disorder that is not separately classified. It indicates a clinically significant stimulant-related condition beyond simple abuse.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see stimulant misuse with associated mental, behavioral, or physiologic changes that the provider links to stimulant use.
When to use this code
Use F15.188 when the record documents stimulant abuse and a separate stimulant-induced disorder, such as a substance-induced mental or mood condition, and the provider identifies the relationship. Code only when the documentation supports both the abuse and the induced disorder. Check documentation if the specific induced disorder is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for uncomplicated stimulant abuse without an induced disorder. Also avoid it when the record identifies a different stimulant-related diagnosis or when the provider does not connect the disorder to stimulant use.
Coding tip
Confirm the induced disorder is documented as stimulant-related before assigning F15.188.
