ICD-10 Code F13.220 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with intoxication, uncomplicated (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F13.220 – Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with intoxication, uncomplicated
What it is
This code describes dependence on sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic drugs with current intoxication, without reported complications. Use it when the record shows both dependence and acute drug effect.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include impaired coordination, slowed thinking, sedation, or altered behavior consistent with intoxication. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic dependence and states the patient is intoxicated. The chart should indicate the intoxication is uncomplicated, meaning no separate complication is documented.
Apply it for encounters where the focus is evaluation or management of the intoxication state in a dependent patient. Check documentation if the record also mentions delirium, coma, or other complications.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for dependence without intoxication, or for acute intoxication without dependence. Check documentation if another substance use disorder or complication is recorded.
Coding tip
Confirm both dependence and intoxication are explicitly documented before assigning F13.220.
