What This Code Means

A person who abuses cocaine and experiences psychotic symptoms, specifically false beliefs (delusions) caused by the cocaine use.

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
