ICD-10 Code F15.22 – Other stimulant dependence with intoxication (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F15.22 – Other stimulant dependence with intoxication
What it is
Use this code for dependence on a stimulant other than cocaine, with current intoxication present. It indicates both a stimulant use disorder and acute intoxication at the time of the encounter.
Clinical signs
Clinical features may include euphoria, increased energy, agitation, restlessness, and impaired judgment. You may also see sympathetic overactivity or behavioral changes; clinical features vary, so refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use F15.22 when the provider documents dependence on another stimulant and states that intoxication is present. This may apply to encounters for acute effects, overdose evaluation, or substance-related behavioral disturbance. Verify the substance and current state in the note.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for stimulant abuse, uncomplicated dependence without intoxication, or cocaine-related disorders. If the record does not clearly support intoxication, check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm both elements: stimulant dependence and intoxication, and code the specific stimulant only when documented.
