ICD-10 Code F17.299 – Nicotine Dependence, Other Tobacco Product, with Unspecified Nicotine-Induced Disorders (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F17.299 – Nicotine dependence, other tobacco product, with unspecified nicotine-induced disorders
What it is
This code identifies dependence on a tobacco product other than cigarettes, with a nicotine-related disorder that is not specified in the record. Use it when the documentation confirms both dependence and an unspecified nicotine-induced condition.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly, you may see ongoing use, craving, or withdrawal tied to a non-cigarette tobacco product, plus a nicotine-related disorder that is not named more specifically.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents dependence on a tobacco product such as chewing tobacco, snuff, or similar products, and also documents an unspecified nicotine-induced disorder. It is appropriate when the record does not identify a more specific nicotine-related diagnosis. Check documentation if the tobacco product or induced disorder is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for cigarette dependence or for nicotine use without dependence. Also avoid it when the nicotine-induced disorder is specified elsewhere in the chart.
Coding tip
Verify both elements in the note: the non-cigarette tobacco dependence and the unspecified nicotine-induced disorder.
