Sedatv/hyp/anxiolytc use, unsp w psychotic disorder, unsp

This code signifies a patient's unspecified use of sedatives, hypnotics, or anxiolytics, complicated by an unspecified psychotic disorder directly induced by the substance use. It indicates a causal link between the substance use and the development of psychotic symptoms, without specifying the pattern of use or the exact nature of the psychotic features.

Use this code when documentation clearly links a psychotic disorder to the use of sedatives, hypnotics, or anxiolytics, but lacks specificity regarding the type of use (e.g., abuse, dependence) or the specific psychotic symptoms (e.g., delusions, hallucinations). This is appropriate when the provider has not further defined the substance use pattern or the induced psychotic disorder.

• Avoid using this code if the documentation specifies the type of sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use (e.g., F13.159 for abuse, F13.259 for dependence).
• Ensure the medical record explicitly states that the psychotic disorder is "induced by" or "due to" the sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic use.
• Query the provider for more specific details on both the substance use pattern and the nature of the psychotic disorder to allow for more precise coding.
