F15.28

F15.28 — Other stimulant dependence with other stimulant-induced disorder

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

F15.28 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other stimulant dependence with other stimulant-induced disorder. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above F15.28

These are not written on F15.28, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing F15.28 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on F15.2 — Other stimulant dependence

other stimulant abuse (F15.1-)
other stimulant use, unspecified (F15.9-)

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above F15.28

Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of F15.28, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.

Written on F15 — Other stimulant related disorders

cocaine-related disorders (F14.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with F15.28

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at F15.28. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading F15.28 alone.

Risk adjustment

F15.28 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code history

F15.28 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
