Sedatv/hyp/anxiolytc use, unsp w psych disorder w delusions

This code signifies a patient presenting with a psychotic disorder characterized by delusions, directly induced by the use of an unspecified sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic substance. The substance use itself is also unspecified. This indicates a direct causal link between the substance and the psychotic symptoms.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a patient is experiencing delusions as a direct result of sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use, and the specific substance or pattern of use is not further specified. This is appropriate for initial assessments or when the precise substance or use pattern has not yet been determined or documented.

• Ensure documentation explicitly links the delusions to the sedative/hypnotic/anxiolytic use.
• If the specific substance or pattern of use (e.g., abuse, dependence) is known, a more specific code from the F13 category should be used.
• Code also any associated withdrawal symptoms or other mental health conditions, if documented.
