F13.2Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-related dependence

F13.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-related dependence. It belongs to category F13 (sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic 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 10 subcodes must be used instead.

Within F13 (sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic related disorders), F13.2 is specifically for sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-related dependence. Related codes cover abuse (F13.1) and use, unspecified (F13.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: F13.20 (uncomplicated), F13.21 (remission), F13.22 (intoxication), F13.23 (withdrawal), F13.24 (disorder), F13.25 (disorder), F13.26 (disorder), F13.27 (dementia) and 2 more.

Don't report F13.2 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-related abuse (F13.1-) and sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use, unspecified (F13.9-).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of F13.2, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic poisoning (T42.-).

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