0.000What This Code Means
A person uses cannabis in an unspecified pattern and has a cannabis-related health problem, but the specific type of problem is not documented or identified.
Coding Tips
- •This is a catch-all code; request clarification from the provider about the specific cannabis-induced disorder when possible
- •Use only when the induced disorder cannot be determined from available documentation
Clinical Significance
Cannabis use, unspecified with unspecified cannabis-induced disorder is the least specific code available for cannabis use with a complication. Both the severity of the use disorder and the type of induced disorder are unspecified. This code should be used only as a last resort when documentation is insufficient, and providers should be queried for additional detail to support more precise coding. Despite its lack of specificity, it still represents clinically relevant cannabis-related morbidity.
Documentation Requirements
- ✓Documentation of cannabis use
- ✓Statement that a cannabis-induced disorder is present
- ✓Any available clinical information
- ✓Documentation of query attempts to determine more specific information
