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

This code signifies a patient's unspecified use of sedatives, hypnotics, or anxiolytics that has resulted in a psychotic disorder characterized by the presence of hallucinations. This condition represents a direct physiological effect of the substance use on the central nervous system, leading to perceptual disturbances.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient is experiencing hallucinations directly attributable to the use of sedatives, hypnotics, or anxiolytics, but the specific pattern or severity of use (e.g., abuse, dependence) is not specified. This is appropriate for initial assessments or when the clinician has not yet determined the full scope of the substance use disorder.

• Ensure documentation explicitly links the hallucinations to the sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use.
• Do not use if the substance use is specified as abuse or dependence; refer to F13.151 or F13.251 respectively.
• Code any co-occurring mental health conditions or other substance use disorders separately.
