Cannabis use, unspecified with intoxication
ICD-10 F12.92 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cannabis use, unspecified with intoxication.
Cannabis use disorder is characterized by a problematic pattern of cannabis use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress. The diagnosis of cannabis use, unspecified with intoxication, indicates that the individual is experiencing the effects of cannabis, which may include euphoria, relaxation, altered perception, and impaired coordination. Intoxication can lead to cognitive impairment, anxiety, and in some cases, psychotic symptoms. The severity of the disorder can vary, and it is essential to assess the frequency and quantity of use, as well as the impact on the individual's daily functioning. Treatment options may include behavioral therapies, counseling, and support groups, focusing on reducing use and addressing underlying issues related to substance use. Accurate coding requires careful documentation of the patient's history, current use patterns, and any co-occurring mental health conditions.
