ICD-10 Code F13.25 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced psychotic disorder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F13.25 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced psychotic disorder
What it is
This code identifies dependence on sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic drugs with a psychotic disorder caused by those substances. Use it when documentation links ongoing dependence and psychotic symptoms to the medication or drug exposure.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Psychotic symptoms may include hallucinations, delusions, or markedly disorganized thinking, and they are attributed to sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use.
When to use this code
Use F13.25 when the provider documents both substance dependence and a substance-induced psychotic disorder from the same drug class. It is appropriate for current or active dependence with psychotic symptoms tied to sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use. Check documentation if the record does not clearly connect the psychosis to the substance.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for psychosis without documented dependence, or for dependence without psychotic features. If the psychotic disorder is due to another substance or a primary psychiatric condition, choose the more accurate code.
Coding tip
Verify both elements in the note: dependence and substance-induced psychosis, and confirm the drug class before assigning F13.25.
