What This Code Means
A person is dependent on cocaine and is currently intoxicated, but the specific type of intoxication symptoms are not documented or specified.
Coding Tips
- •Use this code when cocaine intoxication is present but details about perceptual disturbances or other specific symptoms are not documented
- •This is a less specific code; query the provider if more detail about intoxication symptoms is available
Clinical Significance
Cocaine dependence with intoxication, unspecified is used when a cocaine-dependent patient is intoxicated but the documentation does not specify whether complications like delirium or perceptual disturbance are present. This represents a documentation gap, as the specific nature of the intoxication presentation affects treatment decisions. Any cocaine intoxication in a dependent patient requires monitoring for cardiovascular emergencies and behavioral instability.
Documentation Requirements
- ✓Provider documentation of cocaine dependence
- ✓Documentation of current intoxication state
- ✓Clinical signs of cocaine intoxication documented
- ✓Explanation or notation that specific intoxication complications cannot be further determined
- ✓Vital signs and basic assessment
