2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F13.98 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with other sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced disorders
What it is
This code identifies a sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use disorder with another substance-induced disorder caused by that drug class, while the exact use pattern is not further specified. Use it when documentation supports the drug class and the induced condition, but not a more specific code.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see evidence of impaired behavior, mood, cognition, or other substance-induced changes linked to sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record states unspecified sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use and also documents another induced disorder from that class. It is appropriate when the provider does not identify a more specific induced condition code. Check documentation if the substance or induced disorder is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for uncomplicated sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use without an induced disorder. Also avoid it when documentation supports a more specific substance-induced diagnosis.
Coding tip
Confirm both the substance class and the induced disorder in the note before assigning F13.98.
