HCC Category Mapping
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.
