2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F13.130 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic abuse with withdrawal, uncomplicated
What it is
This code identifies abuse of sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic drugs with withdrawal symptoms, without complication. Use it when documentation shows substance misuse and withdrawal, but no delirium, seizure, or other specified complication.
Clinical signs
Typical withdrawal findings may include anxiety, insomnia, tremor, irritability, and autonomic symptoms. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation, especially for evidence of uncomplicated withdrawal rather than a more severe presentation.
When to use this code
Use F13.130 when the provider documents sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic abuse and also notes withdrawal. It fits encounters for evaluation, monitoring, or treatment of withdrawal when the record does not describe delirium, perceptual disturbance, or seizure. Check documentation if the substance class is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for dependence, intoxication, or withdrawal without abuse documentation. Also avoid it when the chart shows a complicated withdrawal state or another substance is the true cause. Check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the substance use pattern and the withdrawal status exactly as documented, and verify that “uncomplicated” is supported in the note.
