ICD9 292.0

can this code be used in relation to nicotine withdrawal? If so is i necessary to bill an Ecode with this code?

I'd be careful...

looking at the other definitions of this code it includes cocaine withdrawal and insurers do funny things with their data, like ruin people's lives. Perhaps you can code a symptom...
