Other stimulant related disorders (F15)

The F15 ICD-10 code category covers disorders related to the use, abuse, and dependence on stimulants other than cocaine or caffeine. These codes help classify a variety of stimulant-related conditions including abuse, dependence, intoxication, withdrawal, and stimulant-induced mental health issues.

Within this section, specific codes like F15.10 identify uncomplicated stimulant abuse, while F15.12 through F15.19 cover abuses with complications such as intoxication, withdrawal, or mood disorders. The codes F15.20 to F15.29 address stimulant dependence and its associated clinical presentations. The category also includes codes for remission states (e.g., F15.11 and F15.21) and unspecified stimulant use (F15.9 series). Synonyms provided, such as “amphetamine abuse,” “methamphetamine intoxication,” and “stimulant-induced psychotic disorder,” clarify how common terms correspond with these formal codes, aiding medical coders in precise documentation. This classification is essential for accurately capturing conditions ranging from episodic amphetamine misuse to complex stimulant-induced psychiatric disorders.
