Buddy Documentation Tip

HCC Buddy guidance
Documentation of active withdrawal from psychoactive substance(s)
Description of specific perceptual disturbances (type of hallucinations: visual, auditory, tactile)
Assessment that full delirium criteria are NOT met (otherwise use F19.931)
Patient's level of insight into the perceptual disturbances

MEAT Support

HCC Buddy guidance
Documentation of active withdrawal from psychoactive substance(s)
Description of specific perceptual disturbances (type of hallucinations: visual, auditory, tactile)
Assessment that full delirium criteria are NOT met (otherwise use F19.931)
Patient's level of insight into the perceptual disturbances

Audit Caution

HCC Buddy guidance
Coding uncomplicated withdrawal when documentation describes any hallucinations or perceptual disturbances during the withdrawal period
Not recognizing that hallucinations during withdrawal map to HCC 54 (higher value) rather than HCC 55
Confusing withdrawal hallucinations with substance-induced psychotic disorder (F19.950/F19.951), which is a separate condition
Failing to distinguish between withdrawal with perceptual disturbance and withdrawal delirium based on the presence of full delirium criteria

Common Mistakes

HCC Buddy guidance
F19.931 — Withdrawal DELIRIUM is more severe with global cognitive dysfunction; F19.932 has isolated perceptual disturbances
F19.930 — UNCOMPLICATED withdrawal has no perceptual disturbances
F19.922 — INTOXICATION with perceptual disturbance occurs during active substance effects, not withdrawal
F10.232 — ALCOHOL withdrawal with perceptual disturbance should be used when the substance is specifically alcohol

Is F19.932 an HCC code?

Yes. F19.932 (Other psychoactive substance use, unspecified with withdrawal with perceptual disturbance) maps to HCC 135, Drug Use with 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: F19.932 is billable and maps to V28 HCC 135, Drug Use with 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 F19.932

For F19.932, 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

F19.932 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other psychoactive substance use, unspecified with withdrawal with perceptual disturbance. Stopping use of various psychoactive substances with withdrawal symptoms including hallucinations or distorted perceptions. F19.932 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, F19.932 maps to Drug Use with Psychotic Complications (HCC 135) with a source-labeled community, non-dual, aged reference coefficient of 0.424. No V24 mapping is shown for F19.932; use the applicable model and payment year when reviewing the V28 mapping. 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 code indicates withdrawal with perceptual disturbances such as hallucinations. For F19.932, 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 F19.932 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • This code indicates withdrawal with perceptual disturbances such as hallucinations
  • Document the type of perceptual disturbance (visual, auditory, tactile) when possible

Clinical Significance

Other psychoactive substance use, unspecified with withdrawal with perceptual disturbance represents withdrawal complicated by hallucinations (visual, auditory, or tactile) without meeting full delirium criteria. This is a serious clinical finding that may herald progression to withdrawal delirium and requires close monitoring. Accurate capture is important because it maps to a higher HCC category than uncomplicated withdrawal, reflecting the greater clinical complexity.

Documentation Requirements

  • Documentation of active withdrawal from psychoactive substance(s)
  • Description of specific perceptual disturbances (type of hallucinations: visual, auditory, tactile)
  • Assessment that full delirium criteria are NOT met (otherwise use F19.931)
  • Patient's level of insight into the perceptual disturbances
  • Monitoring frequency and escalation plan if symptoms worsen
  • Treatment interventions for both withdrawal and perceptual disturbances

Commonly Confused Codes

  • F19.931: Withdrawal DELIRIUM is more severe with global cognitive dysfunction; F19.932 has isolated perceptual disturbances
  • F19.930: UNCOMPLICATED withdrawal has no perceptual disturbances
  • F19.922: INTOXICATION with perceptual disturbance occurs during active substance effects, not withdrawal
  • F10.232: ALCOHOL withdrawal with perceptual disturbance should be used when the substance is specifically alcohol

Code Hierarchy

For F19.932, 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.

F19.932 maps to CMS-HCC V28 category 135, Drug Use with Psychotic Complications. See the ICD-10 to HCC mapping hub for how the V28 crosswalk works. The mapping identifies a payment HCC category for F19.932. 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.
