Inclusion terms

Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.

  • Sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use disorder, moderate, with sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic-induced mild neurocognitive disorder
  • Sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use disorder, severe, with sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic-induced mild neurocognitive disorder

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above F13.288

These are not written on F13.288, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing F13.288 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on F13.2 Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-related dependence

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

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above F13.288

Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of F13.288, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.

Written on F13.2 Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-related dependence

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

Risk adjustment

F13.288 risk-adjusts. Under the CMS-HCC V28 model it maps to this category:

  • HCC 137 Drug Use Disorder, Moderate/Severe, or Drug Use with Non-Psychotic Complications0.424 RAF

Coefficient shown for the Community Non-dual Aged segment. A higher HCC in the same hierarchy will suppress this one, so capturing it does not always add score.
