ICD-10 Code F13.22 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with intoxication (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F13.22 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with intoxication
What it is
This code describes sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic dependence when the patient is also intoxicated by that substance. Use it when documentation shows both ongoing dependence and current intoxication.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Intoxication may include altered mental status, impaired coordination, slurred speech, or excessive sedation, along with evidence of dependence such as compulsive use or withdrawal history.
When to use this code
Use F13.22 when the record clearly states dependence and intoxication from a sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic. It may be supported by provider assessment, toxicology context, or narrative notes describing current drug effect. If the substance or status is unclear, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for intoxication without dependence, or dependence without intoxication. If the substance is another drug class, or the note only says misuse, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code both the substance class and the documented clinical state; do not assume intoxication from dependence alone.
