What This Code Means

A person who abuses cocaine and experiences psychotic symptoms, specifically seeing or hearing things that aren't real (hallucinations) caused by the cocaine use.

Coding Tips

  • Ensure documentation specifies hallucinations as the primary psychotic symptom and links them to cocaine abuse
  • Distinguish from delusions (F14.150) by confirming the type of psychotic manifestation

Clinical Significance

Cocaine abuse with cocaine-induced psychotic disorder with hallucinations indicates the patient is experiencing sensory perceptions without external stimuli, directly caused by cocaine use. Cocaine-induced hallucinations are often tactile (formication or 'coke bugs'), visual, or auditory, and distinguish this from the more benign perceptual disturbances seen during simple intoxication. This represents a serious psychiatric emergency that may require acute stabilization and carries risk for self-injurious behavior driven by hallucinatory experiences.

Documentation Requirements

  • Provider documentation of cocaine abuse (not dependence) pattern
  • Clear documentation that the psychotic disorder is cocaine-induced
  • Description of the type of hallucinations (visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory)
  • Documentation excluding primary psychotic disorders as the etiology
  • Temporal relationship between cocaine use and hallucination onset
  • Mental status examination documenting hallucinatory experiences
  • Safety assessment regarding response to hallucinations
