What This Code Means

A person who abuses cocaine and experiences psychotic symptoms, but the specific type of psychotic symptom is not clearly documented.

Coding Tips

  • Use this code only when psychotic disorder is documented but neither delusions nor hallucinations are specifically identified
  • Query the provider if possible to determine the specific psychotic manifestation for more precise coding

Clinical Significance

This code captures cocaine abuse with cocaine-induced psychotic disorder where the specific type of psychotic symptom (delusions vs. hallucinations) is not documented. While it reflects a serious psychiatric complication of cocaine use, the unspecified nature indicates a documentation gap. Cocaine-induced psychosis is a high-acuity condition regardless of specification, and carries significant risk for violent behavior, self-harm, and need for inpatient psychiatric care.

Documentation Requirements

  • Provider documentation of cocaine abuse pattern
  • Statement that psychotic symptoms are cocaine-induced
  • Documentation of psychotic symptoms present (even if not specified as delusions or hallucinations)
  • Exclusion of primary psychotic disorders as the etiology
  • Temporal relationship between cocaine use and psychotic symptom onset
  • Mental status examination supporting the presence of psychosis
