2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F13.920 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with intoxication, uncomplicated
What it is
This code identifies intoxication from a sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic when the specific substance is not documented. It applies when the patient is acutely affected, but there is no complication beyond intoxication.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical intoxication findings may include sedation, impaired coordination, slowed thinking, or altered level of consciousness.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record states intoxication from an unspecified sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic and no complication is documented. It also fits when the provider documents acute intoxication without delirium, coma, or other listed complications. Check documentation if the substance or severity is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use it if the substance is identified and a more specific code is available. Do not assign it for withdrawal, dependence, or intoxication with complications such as delirium or coma.
Coding tip
Confirm both the drug class and the absence of complications before coding F13.920.
