ICD-10 Code F19.29 – Other psychoactive substance dependence with unspecified psychoactive substance-induced disorder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F19.29 – Other psychoactive substance dependence with unspecified psychoactive substance-induced disorder
What it is
This code describes dependence on a psychoactive substance, with a substance-induced disorder present but not specified further. Use it when the record identifies dependence and a related induced disorder, but does not name the exact substance-induced condition.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly, the chart shows compulsive use, impaired control, and continued use despite harm, along with signs of a substance-induced mental or behavioral disorder.
When to use this code
Use F19.29 when the provider documents dependence on another psychoactive substance and an unspecified substance-induced disorder. It may fit encounters where the substance is not named clearly, or the induced psychiatric condition is described without further detail. Check documentation for the specific substance and disorder whenever possible.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for uncomplicated use, intoxication, or withdrawal without dependence. Also avoid it when the record identifies a specific substance-induced disorder that should be coded more precisely.
Coding tip
If the substance or induced disorder is documented elsewhere in the chart, code to the highest level of specificity and verify whether additional codes are needed.
