ICD-10 Code F13.132 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic abuse with withdrawal with perceptual disturbance (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F13.132 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic abuse with withdrawal with perceptual disturbance
What it is
This code identifies sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic abuse with withdrawal symptoms that include perceptual disturbance. It applies when the record shows both substance abuse and withdrawal-related changes in perception.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Perceptual disturbance may include altered sensory experiences during withdrawal, along with other withdrawal findings such as anxiety, tremor, agitation, or insomnia.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents abuse of a sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic and specifies withdrawal with perceptual disturbance. It is appropriate when the withdrawal state is clearly linked to the substance and the perceptual change is documented.
Choose this code for encounters where the diagnosis is established in the chart, such as detoxification or evaluation after stopping or reducing the drug. Check documentation if the substance class, abuse pattern, or withdrawal details are unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for dependence, uncomplicated abuse, or intoxication without withdrawal. Do not assign it when perceptual disturbance is absent or when the substance is not a sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic.
Coding tip
Verify that the note links withdrawal and perceptual disturbance to the same sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic substance before coding.
