Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with other sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced disorder
ICD-10 F13.288 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with other sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced disorder.
F13.288 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 other induced disorders such as mood disturbances, cognitive impairments, or behavioral changes directly related to the use of these substances. Treatment typically involves a combination of medical detoxification, psychotherapy, and support groups, focusing on both the dependence and any co-occurring mental health disorders. Accurate coding is essential for appropriate treatment planning and insurance reimbursement.
