2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F19.92 – Other psychoactive substance use, unspecified with intoxication

What it is

This code identifies intoxication from a psychoactive substance that is not otherwise specified. Use it when the substance involved is known to be psychoactive, but the record does not name the exact drug.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Intoxication typically includes acute behavioral or mental status changes after substance use, such as impaired judgment, altered mood, or reduced coordination.

When to use this code

Use this code when the provider documents intoxication from an unspecified psychoactive substance and no more specific substance code is available. It may apply in emergency, urgent care, or inpatient records when the substance is not identified.

Code it only when intoxication is documented, not merely use or exposure. If the chart names a specific psychoactive substance, check documentation for a more precise code.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for withdrawal, dependence, or non-intoxicated use. Do not use it when the substance is identified and a more specific ICD-10 code is supported.

Coding tip

Verify whether the record documents intoxication, the substance category, and any associated delirium or other complication before assigning F19.92.
