ICD-10 Code F15.981 – Other stimulant use, unspecified with stimulant-induced sexual dysfunction (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F15.981 – Other stimulant use, unspecified with stimulant-induced sexual dysfunction
What it is
This code identifies stimulant use, unspecified, when it is associated with sexual dysfunction caused by the stimulant. Use it when the record links the sexual problem directly to stimulant use.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical charting may note reduced sexual desire, erectile or arousal problems, or other sexual dysfunction temporally related to stimulant use.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician documents stimulant use and states that sexual dysfunction is stimulant-induced, but the stimulant is not further specified. It also fits cases where the sexual dysfunction is described as a direct effect of stimulant use and no more specific substance code is available.
Do not use for
Do not use it when sexual dysfunction is not linked to stimulant use, or when a different substance is identified as the cause. If documentation does not support a stimulant-induced disorder, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the stimulant-related sexual dysfunction only when the provider clearly documents the causal relationship.
