About F15.93

F15.93 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other stimulant use, unspecified with withdrawal. It belongs to category F15 (other stimulant related disorders), block F10-F19 (mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance use) and chapter 5 (mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within F15.9 (other stimulant use, unspecified), F15.93 is specifically for other stimulant use, unspecified with withdrawal. Related codes cover uncomplicated (F15.90), in remission (F15.91), with intoxication (F15.92), with stimulant-induced mood disorder (F15.94), with stimulant-induced psychotic disorder (F15.95), with other stimulant-induced disorder (F15.98) and with unspecified stimulant-induced disorder (F15.99).

Don't report F15.93 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: other stimulant use, unspecified with intoxication (F15.92-).

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 791 (Prematurity with Major Problems, relative weight 4.1075), DRG 793 (Full Term Neonate with Major Problems, relative weight 4.2195), DRG 894 (Alcohol, Drug Abuse or Dependence, Left AMA, relative weight 0.6275), DRG 895 (Alcohol, Drug Abuse or Dependence with Rehabilitation Therapy, relative weight 1.4266), DRG 896 (Alcohol, Drug Abuse or Dependence without Rehabilitation Therapy with MCC, relative weight 1.6617) and DRG 897 (Alcohol, Drug Abuse or Dependence without Rehabilitation Therapy without MCC, relative weight 0.8584), in MDC 15 (Newborns and Other Neonates with Conditions Originating in the Perinatal Period) and MDC 20 (Alcohol/Drug Use and Alcohol/Drug Induced Organic Mental Disorders), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 292.0 (drug withdrawal).
