Coding Tips

  • Use this code only when the specific type of intoxication manifestation is not documented or cannot be determined

Clinical Significance

Hallucinogen abuse with unspecified intoxication indicates the patient is intoxicated from hallucinogens during a documented abuse pattern, but the specific intoxication characteristics are not detailed. This code should prompt a query for more specific documentation about the intoxication presentation, as the distinction between uncomplicated, with delirium, or with perceptual disturbance has clinical significance.

Documentation Requirements

  • Documented hallucinogen abuse
  • Evidence of current intoxication
  • Query to provider for specification of intoxication characteristics
  • Clinical signs of hallucinogen intoxication documented
  • Treatment provided for intoxication
