Is F12.150 an HCC code?
Yes. F12.150 (Cannabis abuse with psychotic disorder with delusions) maps to HCC 135, Drug Use with Psychotic Complications under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, with a source-labeled community non-dual aged reference coefficient of 0.424. Source-labeled code-level coefficients are references, not member totals. Actual contribution depends on complete member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and model year. HCC Buddy's RAF Calculator supports CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 and shows no score unless every required source and calculation check passes. It is billable for payment year 2026.
Coder answer: F12.150 is billable and maps to V28 HCC 135, Drug Use with Psychotic Complications. Open it in the Code Book for the tabular path, RAF, and MEAT checklist.

HCC Category Mapping
These are source-labeled model coefficients, not member totals. A category may still be removed by hierarchy or model cleanup rules. Weights are not directly comparable across models: CMS-HCC V28 and V24 use Community, Non-Dual, Aged; ESRD uses the dialysis continuing-enrollee model; RxHCC is the Part D continuing-enrollee, non-low-income, aged weight (a larger scale than CMS-HCC). ACA/HHS has no single weight — it varies by metal level. Actual per-patient RAF contribution depends on member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and the model year used by the payer. V28 is the CMS-HCC model phased in over payment years 2024–2026; V24 remains available for historical review.

MEAT review for F12.150
For F12.150, confirm that the documentation supports the diagnosis and meets the applicable coding, encounter, program and payer requirements. MEAT (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) is a review mnemonic, not a universal CMS coding rule.
- MMonitor: signs, symptoms, disease progression, or lab trending documented in the note
- EEvaluate: test results, medication response, or physical findings reviewed by the provider
- AAssess: explicit mention in the assessment or plan with acknowledgment of status
- TTreat: medication, referral, procedure, therapy, or counseling tied to the diagnosis

What This Code Means
F12.150 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for cannabis abuse with psychotic disorder with delusions. A person is abusing cannabis and has developed a psychotic disorder characterized by delusions (false beliefs) caused by the cannabis use. F12.150 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for mental, behavioral and neurodevelopmental disorders (f01-f99), within the section covering mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance use (f10-f19).
Under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, F12.150 maps to Drug Use with Psychotic Complications (HCC 135) with a source-labeled community, non-dual, aged reference coefficient of 0.424. No V24 mapping is shown for F12.150; use the applicable model and payment year when reviewing the V28 mapping. For CY2026 non-PACE Medicare Advantage, CMS uses 100% of the 2024 CMS-HCC model (V28). PACE uses a separate model blend. Source-labeled code-level coefficients are references, not member totals. Actual contribution depends on complete member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and model year. HCC Buddy's RAF Calculator supports CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 and shows no score unless every required source and calculation check passes.
The psychotic symptoms must be documented as induced by cannabis, not as a primary psychotic disorder. For F12.150, confirm that the documentation supports the diagnosis and meets the applicable coding, encounter, program and payer requirements. MEAT (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) is a review mnemonic, not a universal CMS coding rule. When documentation is ambiguous, coders should issue a provider query rather than assume the highest-specificity variant.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for F12.150 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •The psychotic symptoms must be documented as induced by cannabis, not as a primary psychotic disorder
- •Specify whether delusions are persecutory, grandiose, or other types if documented
Clinical Significance
Cannabis abuse with psychotic disorder with delusions indicates that cannabis use has triggered a psychotic disorder featuring false fixed beliefs. This is a serious psychiatric diagnosis indicating that cannabis use is causing significant mental health complications. Cannabis-induced psychosis with delusions carries important prognostic implications as research suggests it may increase the risk of developing primary psychotic disorders like schizophrenia.
Documentation Requirements
- ✓Documentation of cannabis abuse pattern
- ✓Description of specific delusions (persecutory, grandiose, referential, etc.)
- ✓Clear statement that delusions are induced by cannabis use
- ✓Temporal relationship between cannabis use and onset of delusions
- ✓Evidence that delusions persist beyond the period of acute intoxication
- ✓Exclusion of primary psychotic disorders (schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder)
Commonly Confused Codes
- •F12.151: Cannabis abuse with psychotic disorder with hallucinations; use when hallucinations (not delusions) are the primary psychotic feature
- •F12.159: Cannabis abuse with psychotic disorder, unspecified; use when psychotic features are not specified
- •F12.122: Cannabis abuse with intoxication with perceptual disturbance; use when perceptual changes occur ONLY during intoxication
- •F22: Delusional disorders; use for primary delusional disorder not induced by substance use
