Cocaine abuse with intoxication, uncomplicated
ICD-10 F14.120 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cocaine abuse with intoxication, uncomplicated.
Cocaine abuse with intoxication, uncomplicated, refers to a clinical condition characterized by the excessive use of cocaine, leading to acute intoxication without the presence of severe complications such as withdrawal symptoms or other medical issues. Cocaine is a powerful stimulant that affects the central nervous system, leading to increased energy, euphoria, and heightened alertness. However, it can also cause significant adverse effects, including cardiovascular complications, anxiety, and paranoia. The diagnosis of uncomplicated cocaine intoxication is made when the individual presents with symptoms such as increased heart rate, dilated pupils, and elevated blood pressure, but does not exhibit severe complications that would necessitate a more complex diagnosis. Treatment typically involves supportive care, monitoring vital signs, and addressing any acute symptoms. Understanding the nuances of this diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and accurate coding, as it helps differentiate between uncomplicated intoxication and more severe forms of substance use disorders.
