ICD-10 Code F13.950 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced psychotic disorder with delusions (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F13.950 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced psychotic disorder with delusions
What it is
This code identifies a psychotic disorder with delusions caused by sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use, when the specific use pattern is unspecified. Use it when documentation links the substance exposure to the delusional psychosis.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical findings include fixed false beliefs, impaired reality testing, and symptoms that appear during or soon after substance use, intoxication, or withdrawal.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record states sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use is associated with a psychotic disorder and delusions, but the use is not further specified. You should also confirm that the clinician documents a substance-induced cause rather than a primary psychotic disorder.
If the note names a specific drug class or a different substance-related psychotic presentation, code that documented condition instead. Check documentation when the causal relationship or the type of substance use is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for psychosis without delusions, or for primary psychotic disorders not attributed to sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use. Do not assign it when the substance or clinical relationship is not documented.
Coding tip
Verify both the substance category and the delusional psychotic disorder in the provider note before assigning F13.950.
