F13.93Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with withdrawal

F13.93 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified 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 F13.9, choose F13.93 (hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with withdrawal) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: hypnotic, or anxiolytic use, unspecified, uncomplicated (F13.90), hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified, in remission (F13.91), hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with intoxication (F13.92), hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced mood disorder (F13.94), hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced psychotic disorder (F13.95), hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced persisting amnestic disorder (F13.96), hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced persisting dementia (F13.97), hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with other sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced disorders (F13.98) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: F13.930 (uncomplicated), F13.931 (delirium), F13.932 (with perceptual disturbances) and F13.939 (unspecified).

Don't report F13.93 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with intoxication (F13.92-).

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