ICD-10 Code F18.95 – Inhalant use, unspecified with inhalant-induced psychotic disorder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F18.95 – Inhalant use, unspecified with inhalant-induced psychotic disorder
What it is
This code identifies inhalant use, unspecified, when it is associated with a psychotic disorder caused by the inhalant. Use it when the record links inhalant exposure to hallucinations, delusions, or other psychotic symptoms.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical psychotic findings may include hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, or marked behavioral change occurring in the setting of inhalant use.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents inhalant use as the cause of a psychotic disorder, but does not specify the inhalant type. It fits cases where the psychosis is explicitly described as inhalant-induced. If the record only notes substance use without psychosis, choose a different code. Check documentation for the exact relationship.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for inhalant use without psychotic features or for psychosis unrelated to inhalant exposure. If another substance is identified as the cause, code that substance instead.
Coding tip
Confirm that both inhalant use and the induced psychotic disorder are documented before assigning F18.95.
