ICD-10 Code F13.19 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic abuse with unspecified sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced disorder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F13.19 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic abuse with unspecified sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced disorder
What it is
This code identifies abuse of sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic drugs when the record also documents an unspecified substance-induced disorder. It signals harmful use with a related mental or physical effect, but the exact induced disorder is not named.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Notes may describe misuse, dependence-like behavior, intoxication, or an induced condition such as mood, anxiety, sleep, or psychotic symptoms without further specification.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic abuse and states an unspecified induced disorder. It may apply when the chart confirms drug-related impairment but does not identify the exact induced condition. Check documentation if the substance class or induced disorder is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for simple use without abuse, dependence, or a documented induced disorder. If the record identifies a different substance class or a specific induced disorder, choose the more accurate code.
Coding tip
Code only when both abuse and an unspecified induced disorder are documented; otherwise, verify the diagnosis wording before assigning F13.19.
