Clinical Significance
Cannabis dependence with unspecified cannabis-induced disorder is the least specific code for cannabis dependence with complications. It is used when documentation confirms both dependence and an induced disorder but the specific type of induced disorder cannot be determined. This code captures risk adjustment value but represents a significant documentation improvement opportunity. Providers should always be queried to identify the specific induced disorder.
Documentation Requirements
- ✓Documentation of cannabis dependence
- ✓Statement that a cannabis-induced disorder is present
- ✓Any available clinical information about the nature of the induced disorder
- ✓Documentation of query attempts to determine the specific disorder
