Cannabis use, unspecified with psychotic disorder
ICD-10 F12.95 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cannabis use, unspecified with psychotic disorder.
F12.95 refers to a condition characterized by the use of cannabis that leads to the development of a psychotic disorder. This diagnosis is often seen in individuals who consume cannabis in varying amounts and frequencies, leading to symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. The psychotic disorder may manifest during intoxication or as a result of withdrawal from cannabis. The severity of symptoms can vary widely, and the diagnosis is often complicated by the presence of other substance use disorders or mental health conditions. Treatment typically involves a combination of psychotherapy, medication management, and support groups. Clinicians must carefully assess the patient's history of cannabis use, the duration and frequency of use, and any co-occurring mental health issues to provide an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan. Proper documentation is essential to support the diagnosis and ensure appropriate coding.
