Buddy Documentation Tip

Documentation of cocaine use
Documentation that some type of cocaine-induced disorder is present

Audit Caution

HCC Buddy guidance
Defaulting to this maximally unspecified code without attempting provider query for any specificity
Using this code when documentation supports ANY more specific code
Confusing this with F14.90 (uncomplicated use) — an induced disorder must be present
Not documenting that a cocaine-induced disorder exists when using this code

Common Mistakes

HCC Buddy guidance
F14.90 — Cocaine use, unspecified, uncomplicated: use when NO induced disorders are present
F14.988 — Cocaine use, unspecified with other cocaine-induced disorder: use when the disorder is identified but does not fit specific categories
F14.94 — Cocaine use, unspecified with cocaine-induced mood disorder: use when a mood disorder is identified
F14.980 — Cocaine use, unspecified with cocaine-induced anxiety disorder: use when anxiety is identified

Is F14.99 an HCC code?

Yes. F14.99 (Cocaine use, unspecified with unspecified cocaine-induced disorder) 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: F14.99 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 F14.99

For F14.99, 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

F14.99 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for cocaine use, unspecified with unspecified cocaine-induced disorder. Cocaine use with some cocaine-induced disorder or problem, but the specific type of disorder is not documented or identified. F14.99 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, F14.99 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 is a catch-all code; try to obtain more specific information about the cocaine-induced condition. For F14.99, 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 F14.99 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • This is a catch-all code; try to obtain more specific information about the cocaine-induced condition
  • Query the provider if possible to determine the specific disorder for more accurate coding

Clinical Significance

Cocaine use, unspecified with unspecified cocaine-induced disorder is the least specific combination code in the entire cocaine series. Both the use pattern and the type of induced disorder are unspecified. This code should only be used as a last resort when documentation confirms a cocaine-induced condition exists but provides insufficient detail to determine the specific disorder or use pattern. It represents the maximum documentation gap in cocaine-related coding.

Documentation Requirements

  • Documentation of cocaine use
  • Documentation that some type of cocaine-induced disorder is present
  • Evidence that further specification cannot be determined from available records
  • Clinical context supporting the presence of an induced condition
  • Documentation of attempts to obtain more specific information

Commonly Confused Codes

  • F14.90: Cocaine use, unspecified, uncomplicated: use when NO induced disorders are present
  • F14.988: Cocaine use, unspecified with other cocaine-induced disorder: use when the disorder is identified but does not fit specific categories
  • F14.94: Cocaine use, unspecified with cocaine-induced mood disorder: use when a mood disorder is identified
  • F14.980: Cocaine use, unspecified with cocaine-induced anxiety disorder: use when anxiety is identified
  • F14.19: Cocaine abuse with unspecified cocaine-induced disorder: use when abuse is established

F14.99 maps to CMS-HCC V28 category 137, Drug Use Disorder, Moderate/Severe, or Drug Use with Non-Psychotic Complications. See the ICD-10 to HCC mapping hub for how the V28 crosswalk works. The mapping identifies a payment HCC category for F14.99. Review its source-labeled HCC coefficient above, check the RAF Calculator with complete member context for CMS-HCC V28 PY2026, and confirm the documentation the chart needs before the code is submitted. HCC Buddy shows no RAF score unless every required source and calculation check passes.
