ICD-10 Code F13.259 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced psychotic disorder, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F13.259 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced psychotic disorder, unspecified
What it is
This code identifies a documented dependence on sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic drugs with a psychotic disorder caused by those substances, when the psychosis is not further specified. Use it when the record supports both dependence and a drug-induced psychotic condition.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Psychotic symptoms may include hallucinations, delusions, or markedly disorganized thinking, and the chart should link them to sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents dependence on a sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic and also states that the patient has a psychotic disorder induced by that substance. It is appropriate when the psychotic disorder is unspecified and no more detailed subtype is documented. Check documentation for the substance name and the causal relationship.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for simple dependence without psychosis, or for psychosis unrelated to the substance. If the record does not support a drug-induced psychotic disorder, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code both the dependence and the induced psychotic disorder only when the provider clearly documents both conditions and their relationship.
