What This Code Means

A person using cocaine who is experiencing psychosis with delusions (false beliefs) caused by the cocaine use.

Coding Tips

  • Document that delusions are present and directly related to cocaine use
  • Distinguish from primary psychotic disorders; cocaine-induced psychosis typically resolves with abstinence

Clinical Significance

Cocaine use, unspecified with cocaine-induced psychotic disorder with delusions captures a high-acuity condition where cocaine causes delusions in a patient whose use pattern (abuse vs. dependence) is not specified. Cocaine-induced delusions are frequently paranoid in nature and can drive violent behavior, treatment refusal, and emergency psychiatric intervention. This code maps to the higher-weighted psychosis HCC (54) in V24, making accurate capture important for risk adjustment.

Documentation Requirements

  • Documentation of cocaine use
  • Clear documentation that the psychotic disorder is cocaine-induced
  • Specific description of delusions (paranoid, grandiose, persecutory, etc.)
  • Documentation ruling out primary psychotic disorders
  • Temporal relationship between cocaine use and delusion onset
  • Mental status examination documenting delusional thinking
  • Safety assessment regarding delusional content
