ICD-10 Code F12.13 – Cannabis abuse with withdrawal (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F12.13 – Cannabis abuse with withdrawal
What it is
F12.13 identifies cannabis abuse with withdrawal. Use it when documentation shows problematic cannabis use and a withdrawal syndrome after reduction or stopping use.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly reported withdrawal findings include irritability, anxiety, sleep disturbance, decreased appetite, restlessness, and depressed mood.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record clearly states cannabis abuse with withdrawal, or when the provider documents both cannabis-related disorder and withdrawal symptoms linked to stopping use. Confirm that the withdrawal is attributable to cannabis, not another substance or condition. Check documentation if the relationship is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use it for uncomplicated cannabis use, cannabis dependence without withdrawal, or cannabis intoxication. If the chart only says “withdrawal” without cannabis attribution, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code F12.13 only when the provider explicitly links withdrawal to cannabis use.
