ICD-10 Code F15.922 – Other stimulant use, unspecified with intoxication with perceptual disturbance (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F15.922 – Other stimulant use, unspecified with intoxication with perceptual disturbance
What it is
This code identifies intoxication from an unspecified stimulant, such as amphetamine-type or similar agents, when perceptual disturbance is present. Use it when the record supports stimulant intoxication but does not name a more specific stimulant.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Perceptual disturbance may include hallucinations, illusions, or marked sensory misperception occurring during stimulant intoxication, along with agitation, euphoria, anxiety, or increased alertness.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents stimulant intoxication and notes perceptual disturbance, but the stimulant is not specified more precisely. It can apply in emergency, behavioral health, or inpatient notes when the diagnosis is clearly tied to intoxication. If the substance is identified elsewhere in the record, code to that specific stimulant instead.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for stimulant use without intoxication, or when perceptual symptoms are due to another condition such as psychosis, delirium, or withdrawal. Check documentation if the substance or clinical state is unclear.
Coding tip
Assign the code only when intoxication and perceptual disturbance are both documented in the same clinical episode.
