ICD-10 Code F13.988 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with other sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced disorder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F13.988 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with other sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced disorder
What it is
This code describes sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use with an additional substance-induced disorder that does not fit a more specific F13. category. Use it when the record supports both unspecified use and another sedative-related disorder.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see sedation, impaired coordination, confusion, anxiety, sleep disturbance, or other substance-induced mental or behavioral changes linked to sedative use.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents unspecified sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use plus another induced disorder, and no more specific F13 code applies. It is appropriate when the chart identifies the substance class but not a more detailed use pattern. Check documentation if the induced disorder is named separately.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for isolated intoxication, withdrawal, or dependence without the additional induced disorder. If the record supports a more specific sedative-related diagnosis, code that instead.
Coding tip
Match both the substance class and the induced disorder in the note before assigning F13.988.
