F16.19 — Hallucinogen abuse with unspecified hallucinogen-induced disorder

BillableUnspecified

Is F16.19 billable?

Yes, but F16.19 is an unspecified code. F16.19 is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, F16.19 is an unspecified or catch-all code. Payers apply additional scrutiny to unspecified codes and many deny them when the medical record supports a more specific option, so check the documentation before selecting F16.19 — the more specific alternatives are listed below.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from F16.1

The conditions below can never be reported together with F16.19 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

hallucinogen dependence (F16.2-)
hallucinogen use, unspecified (F16.9-)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 5

The conditions below are not part of F16.19, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, F16.19 and the excluded code may both be reported.
