F13.23Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with withdrawal

F13.23 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with withdrawal. 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 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within F13.2 (sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-related dependence), F13.23 is specifically for sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with withdrawal. Related codes cover dependence, uncomplicated (F13.20), dependence, in remission (F13.21), dependence with intoxication (F13.22), dependence with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced mood disorder (F13.24), dependence with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced psychotic disorder (F13.25), dependence with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced persisting amnestic disorder (F13.26), dependence with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced persisting dementia (F13.27), dependence with other sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced disorders (F13.28) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: F13.230 (uncomplicated), F13.231 (delirium), F13.232 (with perceptual disturbance) and F13.239 (unspecified).

Don't report F13.23 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with intoxication (F13.22-).

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