Buddy Insight

Cocaine use, unspecified with intoxication, uncomplicated is used when the provider documents cocaine intoxication but the clinical record does not establish whether the use pattern constitutes abuse or dependence.

Buddy Documentation Tip

HCC Buddy guidance
Documentation of cocaine use (even without specifying abuse or dependence)
Clinical signs of active intoxication (euphoria, agitation, dilated pupils, tachycardia, hypertension)
Confirmation that intoxication is uncomplicated (no delirium or perceptual disturbance)
Vital signs documented during the intoxication

MEAT Support

HCC Buddy guidance
Documentation of cocaine use (even without specifying abuse or dependence)
Clinical signs of active intoxication (euphoria, agitation, dilated pupils, tachycardia, hypertension)
Confirmation that intoxication is uncomplicated (no delirium or perceptual disturbance)
Vital signs documented during the intoxication

Audit Caution

HCC Buddy guidance
Using this unspecified use code when documentation actually supports a more specific abuse or dependence classification
Not querying the provider to clarify the use pattern (abuse vs. dependence)
Coding intoxication without clinical documentation of intoxication signs
Using this code when complications (delirium, perceptual disturbance) are present

Common Mistakes

HCC Buddy guidance
F14.120 — Cocaine abuse with intoxication, uncomplicated: use when abuse is established
F14.220 — Cocaine dependence with intoxication, uncomplicated: use when dependence is established
F14.921 — Cocaine use, unspecified with intoxication delirium: use when delirium is present
F14.922 — Cocaine use, unspecified with intoxication with perceptual disturbance: use when perceptual disturbances are present

Is F14.920 an HCC code?

Yes. F14.920 (Cocaine use, unspecified with intoxication, uncomplicated) maps to HCC 137, Drug Use Disorder, Moderate/Severe, or Drug Use with Non-Psychotic Complications under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, with a source-labeled community non-dual aged reference coefficient of 0.424. Source-labeled code-level coefficients are references, not member totals. Actual contribution depends on complete member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and model year. HCC Buddy's RAF Calculator supports CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 and shows no score unless every required source and calculation check passes. It is billable for payment year 2026.

Coder answer: F14.920 is billable and maps to V28 HCC 137, Drug Use Disorder, Moderate/Severe, or Drug Use with Non-Psychotic Complications. Open it in the Code Book for the tabular path, RAF, and MEAT checklist.

These are source-labeled model coefficients, not member totals. A category may still be removed by hierarchy or model cleanup rules. Weights are not directly comparable across models: CMS-HCC V28 and V24 use Community, Non-Dual, Aged; ESRD uses the dialysis continuing-enrollee model; RxHCC is the Part D continuing-enrollee, non-low-income, aged weight (a larger scale than CMS-HCC). ACA/HHS has no single weight — it varies by metal level. Actual per-patient RAF contribution depends on member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and the model year used by the payer. V28 is the CMS-HCC model phased in over payment years 2024–2026; V24 remains available for historical review.

MEAT review for F14.920

For F14.920, confirm that the documentation supports the diagnosis and meets the applicable coding, encounter, program and payer requirements. MEAT (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) is a review mnemonic, not a universal CMS coding rule.

  • MMonitor: signs, symptoms, disease progression, or lab trending documented in the note
  • EEvaluate: test results, medication response, or physical findings reviewed by the provider
  • AAssess: explicit mention in the assessment or plan with acknowledgment of status
  • TTreat: medication, referral, procedure, therapy, or counseling tied to the diagnosis

What This Code Means

F14.920 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for cocaine use, unspecified with intoxication, uncomplicated. A person using cocaine who is experiencing intoxication without additional complications like confusion or hallucinations. F14.920 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for mental, behavioral and neurodevelopmental disorders (f01-f99), within the section covering mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance use (f10-f19).

Under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, F14.920 maps to Drug Use Disorder, Moderate/Severe, or Drug Use with Non-Psychotic Complications (HCC 137) with a source-labeled community, non-dual, aged reference coefficient of 0.424. For CY2026 non-PACE Medicare Advantage, CMS uses 100% of the 2024 CMS-HCC model (V28). PACE uses a separate model blend. Source-labeled code-level coefficients are references, not member totals. Actual contribution depends on complete member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and model year. HCC Buddy's RAF Calculator supports CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 and shows no score unless every required source and calculation check passes.

This code represents uncomplicated intoxication; if delirium or perceptual disturbances are present, use more specific codes. For F14.920, confirm that the documentation supports the diagnosis and meets the applicable coding, encounter, program and payer requirements. MEAT (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) is a review mnemonic, not a universal CMS coding rule. When documentation is ambiguous, coders should issue a provider query rather than assume the highest-specificity variant.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for F14.920 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • This code represents uncomplicated intoxication; if delirium or perceptual disturbances are present, use more specific codes
  • Document the timing and amount of cocaine use to support the intoxication diagnosis

Clinical Significance

Cocaine use, unspecified with intoxication, uncomplicated is used when the provider documents cocaine intoxication but the clinical record does not establish whether the use pattern constitutes abuse or dependence. The 'unspecified' designation for the use pattern indicates a documentation gap regarding severity. Despite this, acute cocaine intoxication requires cardiovascular monitoring and behavioral assessment regardless of use pattern classification.

Documentation Requirements

  • Documentation of cocaine use (even without specifying abuse or dependence)
  • Clinical signs of active intoxication (euphoria, agitation, dilated pupils, tachycardia, hypertension)
  • Confirmation that intoxication is uncomplicated (no delirium or perceptual disturbance)
  • Vital signs documented during the intoxication
  • Assessment and monitoring plan

Commonly Confused Codes

  • F14.120: Cocaine abuse with intoxication, uncomplicated: use when abuse is established
  • F14.220: Cocaine dependence with intoxication, uncomplicated: use when dependence is established
  • F14.921: Cocaine use, unspecified with intoxication delirium: use when delirium is present
  • F14.922: Cocaine use, unspecified with intoxication with perceptual disturbance: use when perceptual disturbances are present
  • F14.929: Cocaine use, unspecified with intoxication, unspecified: even less specific code
