F14.150

Billable

Cocaine abuse with cocaine-induced psychotic disorder with delusions

Last updated: FY2026 ICD-10-CM (Oct 1, 2025 – Sep 30, 2026) | CMS-HCC V28 (100% phase-in, PY2026)

Is F14.150 an HCC code?

Yes. F14.150 maps to Drug/Alcohol Psychosis under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model (and Drug/Alcohol Psychosis under V24).

RAF weights shown are the community, non-dual, aged base weights from the CMS risk adjustment model file. Actual per-patient RAF contribution depends on member segment, interactions, and the model year used by the payer. V28 is the CMS-HCC model phased in over payment years 2024–2026; V24 remains in use during the transition and for historical data.

MEAT Criteria for F14.150

For F14.150 to count as a valid HCC diagnosis in a given encounter, the provider's documentation must show MEAT: Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat. A diagnosis from a prior year does not carry forward automatically — it has to be re-documented and supported each calendar year.

  • 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

Only one of M/E/A/T is required to support the code, but the documentation must be specific enough to show that the provider actually addressed F14.150 during that encounter — not just copy-forwarded from a problem list.

What This Code Means

F14.150 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for cocaine abuse with cocaine-induced psychotic disorder with delusions. A person who abuses cocaine and experiences psychotic symptoms, specifically false beliefs (delusions) caused by the cocaine use. F14.150 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, F14.150 maps to Drug/Alcohol Psychosis (HCC 135) with a community, non-dual, aged base RAF weight of 0.000. Under the older V24 model, F14.150 mapped to the same category but with a base RAF weight of 0.434 — V28 recalibrated weights across the entire model. V28 is the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model that reached 100% phase-in for payment year 2026, replacing V24 which was used during the PY2024–PY2025 transition.

Verify documentation clearly states cocaine abuse (not dependence) and that delusions are cocaine-induced. Because F14.150 maps to a payment HCC, the provider's documentation must satisfy MEAT criteria (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) for the encounter to count toward the patient's Medicare Advantage risk adjustment score. 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, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for F14.150 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Verify documentation clearly states cocaine abuse (not dependence) and that delusions are cocaine-induced
  • Do not use this code if the psychotic disorder existed before cocaine use began

Clinical Significance

Cocaine abuse with cocaine-induced psychotic disorder with delusions represents a serious psychiatric complication of cocaine use. The patient has developed fixed false beliefs directly attributable to cocaine, such as paranoid delusions of persecution. This is a higher-acuity condition than simple intoxication or mood disturbance, indicating significant neurotoxicity. Cocaine-induced psychosis with delusions may require psychiatric hospitalization, antipsychotic treatment, and carries risk for violent behavior driven by paranoid ideation.

Documentation Requirements

  • Provider documentation of cocaine abuse (not dependence)
  • Clear documentation that the psychotic disorder is induced by cocaine use
  • Specific description of delusions present (paranoid, grandiose, referential, somatic, etc.)
  • Documentation ruling out primary psychotic disorders (e.g., Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Delusional Disorder)
  • Temporal relationship between cocaine use and onset of delusions
  • Mental status examination findings supporting presence of delusions
  • Assessment of danger to self or others due to delusional content
