F14.151
BillableCocaine abuse with cocaine-induced psychotic disorder with hallucinations
HCC Category Mapping
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.
