What it is

Use this code for abuse of a psychoactive substance other than alcohol, opioids, cannabis, cocaine, or other specifically named drugs, when intoxication includes perceptual disturbances. The record should support both substance abuse and the intoxication state.

Clinical signs

Clinical features may include altered perception, such as hallucination-like experiences or misinterpretation of stimuli, during intoxication. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the substance involved and the presence of perceptual disturbance.

When to use this code

Assign F19.122 when the provider documents abuse of another psychoactive substance with intoxication and perceptual disturbances. Use it when the chart identifies the substance as not otherwise specified or not in a more specific ICD-10 category. If the documentation only says use, dependence, or intoxication without abuse, check documentation.

Do not use this code for intoxication without perceptual disturbance, or for dependence or uncomplicated use. Also avoid it when a more specific substance-related code is documented.

Coding tip

Code the substance and the intoxication complication exactly as documented; if the substance is unclear, query the provider.
