Cannabis use, unspecified with other cannabis-induced disorder
ICD-10 F12.988 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of cannabis use, unspecified with other cannabis-induced disorder.
F12.988 refers to a diagnosis of cannabis use disorder that is unspecified and is associated with other cannabis-induced disorders. This code is used when a patient exhibits problematic patterns of cannabis use that lead to clinically significant impairment or distress, but the specific nature of the cannabis-induced disorder is not clearly defined. Cannabis use disorder can manifest in various ways, including addiction, withdrawal symptoms, and intoxication effects. Patients may experience cravings, tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, insomnia, and decreased appetite when not using cannabis. Treatment often involves behavioral therapies, counseling, and support groups, focusing on reducing cannabis use and addressing any co-occurring mental health issues. The complexity of this diagnosis lies in the variability of symptoms and the need for comprehensive assessment to determine the appropriate treatment plan.
