Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with other sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced disorders
ICD-10 F13.28 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with other sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced disorders.
F13.28 refers to a condition characterized by a dependence on sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic substances, accompanied by other disorders induced by these substances. Patients with this diagnosis often exhibit a compulsive pattern of use, leading to significant impairment or distress. The dependence may manifest through withdrawal symptoms when the substance is reduced or discontinued, as well as tolerance, where increasing amounts are needed to achieve the desired effect. Additionally, individuals may experience cognitive impairments, mood disturbances, or other psychological issues as a result of their substance use. Treatment typically involves a combination of behavioral therapies, counseling, and, in some cases, pharmacotherapy to manage withdrawal symptoms and support recovery. Accurate diagnosis and coding are crucial for effective treatment planning and insurance reimbursement.
