What This Code Means
F17.223 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for nicotine dependence, chewing tobacco, with withdrawal. A person is dependent on chewing tobacco and is experiencing withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, or cravings. F17.223 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).
F17.223 is a billable ICD-10-CM code, but the current payload does not show a mapping under the CMS-HCC V28 or V24 community payment models, and none under the ESRD, Part D RxHCC, or HHS-HCC models. Do not assign risk adjustment value from this page when no source-backed mapping is shown; verify the applicable model and payment year.
Withdrawal symptoms should be documented in the medical record to justify this code selection.
