F13.2: Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-related dependence

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

F13.2 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-related dependence. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1: never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

  • sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-related abuse (F13.1-)
  • sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use, unspecified (F13.9-)

Excludes2: not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

  • sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic poisoning (T42.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with F13.2
