ICD-10 Code F13.929 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with intoxication, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F13.929 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with intoxication, unspecified
What it is
This code identifies intoxication from a sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic drug when the specific substance is not documented. Use it for acute effects after use of this drug class, not for long-term dependence or withdrawal.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical intoxication may include sedation, impaired coordination, slowed thinking, slurred speech, or reduced alertness after recent use of a calming or sleep-inducing medication.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record states intoxication from a sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic and does not name the agent. It also fits cases where the provider documents intoxication but gives no further detail on the specific drug.
Code from the chart wording, not assumptions. If the note identifies a specific medication or a different substance category, use the more precise code available. Check documentation when the diagnosis is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for withdrawal, dependence, abuse, or poisoning. Also avoid it when the substance is known and another more specific ICD-10 code applies.
Coding tip
Confirm that “intoxication” is explicitly documented and that the substance is unspecified before assigning F13.929.
