ICD-10 Code F13.29 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with unspecified sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced disorder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F13.29 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with unspecified sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced disorder
What it is
This code identifies dependence on sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic drugs when the patient also has a substance-induced disorder that is not further specified. Use it when the chart supports both dependence and an associated drug-related mental or behavioral change.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly documented findings include compulsive use, inability to reduce use, withdrawal concerns, and an associated unspecified substance-induced mental or behavioral disorder.
When to use this code
Use F13.29 when the provider documents sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic dependence plus an unspecified induced disorder related to that substance. It may apply when the record notes drug-related behavioral or mental changes but does not name a more specific condition. Check documentation for the exact induced disorder.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for simple use, abuse, or dependence without an induced disorder. Also avoid it if the induced condition is specified elsewhere, because a more precise code may apply.
Coding tip
Code both the dependence and the induced disorder only when the documentation clearly links them.
