ICD-10 Code F19.932 – Other psychoactive substance use, unspecified with withdrawal with perceptual disturbance (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F19.932 – Other psychoactive substance use, unspecified with withdrawal with perceptual disturbance
What it is
Use this code for withdrawal from an unspecified psychoactive substance when the patient also has perceptual disturbance, such as hallucinations or altered sensory perception. It applies when the substance is not better identified in the record.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common withdrawal findings may include agitation, anxiety, tremor, insomnia, and perceptual changes such as hallucinations or misperceptions.
When to use this code
Assign F19.932 when the record clearly documents withdrawal from an unspecified psychoactive substance plus perceptual disturbance. Use it when the clinician links the symptoms to substance withdrawal and does not identify a more specific substance.
If the note names the substance, code the more specific category instead. Check documentation for whether intoxication, dependence, or another substance-related disorder is the primary diagnosis.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for withdrawal without perceptual disturbance or for substance intoxication. Do not use it when the substance is identified and a more specific ICD-10 code applies.
Coding tip
Look for explicit wording that ties hallucinations or other perceptual changes to withdrawal before assigning the code.
