What marijuana use ICD codes can I use?

Here are several marijuana use ICD codes you can use:

F12.90 - Cannabis use, unspecified, uncomplicated

This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to be using cannabis, and they aren't dealing with any complications.

F12.91 - Cannabis use, unspecified, in remission

This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have been using cannabis, but they are in remission, meaning they are recovering from it, whether partially or fully.

F12.920 - Cannabis use, unspecified with intoxication, uncomplicated

This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to be using cannabis and they're intoxicated because of their cannabis use. They're not dealing with any complications tied to cannabis intoxication, though.

F12.93 - Cannabis use, unspecified with withdrawal

This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to be using cannabis and going through withdrawal.

F12.921 - Cannabis use, unspecified with intoxication delirium

This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to be using cannabis, and they are experiencing intoxication delirium, meaning they have difficulty focusing and/or sustaining their attention and are disoriented.

F12.922 - Cannabis use, unspecified with intoxication with perceptual disturbance

This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to be using cannabis and they're intoxicated. They also have perceptual disturbance, characterized by auditory, visual, and tactile hallucinations and illusions.

All of these ICD codes have an unspecified label. What is unspecified in this context if their cannabis use is cannabis abuse or cannabis dependence. There are ICD-10 codes specific for both of those. Once you've determined if the patient is dependent on cannabis or abusing it, please use specific ICD-10 codes for those instead of the ones above.

Are these marijuana use ICD codes billable?

Yes. These marijuana use-related ICD-10 codes are valid and billable.

Commonly asked questions

Yes, but we don’t recommend using them because they are invalid.

‍

They should avoid situations that can heighten their anxiety or trigger their irritability. They should avoid drinking caffeinated beverages so that whatever sleep problems they have as a result of their marijuana withdrawal/dependence/abuse don’t become worse. They can also exercise or do something physically active to ease any body tension. If they have a support system, they shouldn’t think twice about relying on it.

They just need to stop using marijuana. That’s easier said than done, though. Those needing help with stopping may take Sativex in moderation to reduce withdrawal symptoms over time. They can also attend cognitive behavioral therapy programs to develop ways to stop and maintain the mindset to prevent relapse.
