2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F13.288 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with other sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced disorder

What it is

This code identifies dependence on sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic drugs with another substance-induced disorder caused by that class. Use it when the record shows both dependence and a related induced condition, but not a more specific one.

Clinical signs

Findings may include compulsive use, tolerance, withdrawal, or inability to cut down, along with a documented sedative-related mental or physical disorder. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Use F13.288 when the provider documents sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic dependence and specifies another induced disorder linked to the same drug class. This may apply when the induced condition is not separately classified in a more specific F13.28- code. Check documentation for the exact induced disorder.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for simple use, abuse, or intoxication without dependence. Do not assign it if the record names a different sedative-induced disorder that has its own code.

Coding tip

Code both the dependence and the induced disorder only when the documentation clearly supports both elements.
