ICD-10 Code F13.92 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with intoxication (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F13.92 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with intoxication
What it is
Use F13.92 when documentation shows intoxication from a sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic drug, but the specific substance is not identified. It indicates an acute medication-related effect, not routine use.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include impaired judgment, slowed or slurred speech, drowsiness, poor coordination, or altered mental status. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents intoxication and names the drug class only, without a more specific substance. It also fits cases where the record confirms sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic intoxication but does not specify the agent. Check documentation if the chart describes overdose, poisoning, or another substance-related condition instead.
Do not use for
Do not use F13.92 for uncomplicated use, dependence, or withdrawal without intoxication. Also avoid it when the specific sedative or anxiolytic is documented and a more precise code is available.
Coding tip
Code the highest level of specificity supported by the note, and verify whether intoxication is explicitly documented.
