What This Code Means

A person abuses cocaine but does not have severe cocaine use disorder and has no current complications from the use.

Coding Tips

  • This code indicates abuse (problematic use) rather than dependence; if dependence is documented, use F14.2x codes instead
  • Uncomplicated means no intoxication, withdrawal, or induced disorders are currently present

Clinical Significance

Cocaine abuse, uncomplicated, indicates a pattern of problematic cocaine use that does not yet meet criteria for dependence and has no current complications. Cocaine is a potent stimulant with significant cardiovascular, neurological, and psychiatric risks. Even uncomplicated abuse warrants intervention due to the high addictive potential and medical risks of cocaine use.

Documentation Requirements

  • Provider documentation explicitly stating 'cocaine abuse' or equivalent diagnostic language
  • Pattern of use meeting criteria for substance abuse (problematic use without dependence criteria)
  • Confirmation that no current intoxication, withdrawal, or induced disorders are present
  • Frequency and route of cocaine use if documented
  • Assessment for cardiovascular and psychiatric complications
  • Current treatment or intervention plan
