ICD-10 Code F15.29 – Other stimulant dependence with unspecified stimulant-induced disorder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F15.29 – Other stimulant dependence with unspecified stimulant-induced disorder
What it is
This code identifies dependence on a stimulant, such as amphetamines or other similar drugs, with an unspecified stimulant-induced disorder. Use it when the record shows stimulant dependence but does not specify the exact induced condition.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Records may note compulsive use, tolerance, withdrawal, or impaired control, along with a stimulant-related mental or physical disturbance that is not further specified.
When to use this code
Use F15.29 when the clinician documents stimulant dependence and also states an unspecified stimulant-induced disorder. It fits encounters where the induced condition is present but not named in detail. Check documentation if the note lists intoxication, withdrawal, or a clearly defined psychiatric disorder instead.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if the record supports stimulant abuse without dependence, or if the induced disorder is specified elsewhere. If the stimulant-related condition is named more precisely, code that documented diagnosis instead.
Coding tip
Verify both elements in the note: dependence and an unspecified stimulant-induced disorder.
