Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic abuse with withdrawal, uncomplicated
ICD-10 F13.130 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic abuse with withdrawal, uncomplicated.
F13.130 refers to the abuse of sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic substances, characterized by a pattern of consumption that leads to significant impairment or distress. This code specifically denotes cases where the individual is experiencing withdrawal symptoms that are uncomplicated, meaning they do not involve severe complications such as seizures or delirium.

Understanding the nuances of this diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and accurate coding.
