About F18.15

F18.15 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Inhalant abuse with inhalant-induced psychotic disorder. It belongs to category F18 (Inhalant related disorders), block F10-F19 (mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance use) and chapter 5 (mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within F18.1 (Inhalant abuse), F18.15 is specifically for Inhalant abuse with inhalant-induced psychotic disorder. Related codes cover uncomplicated (F18.10), in remission (F18.11), with intoxication (F18.12), with inhalant-induced mood disorder (F18.14), with inhalant-induced dementia (F18.17), with other inhalant-induced disorders (F18.18) and with unspecified inhalant-induced disorder (F18.19).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: F18.150 (with delusions), F18.151 (with hallucinations) and F18.159 (unspecified).

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