F1320 - Dependence on sedative, sleep, or anti-anxiety medications without complications
International Classification of Diseases
What is a ICD-10 Code?
ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) codes are used to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures recorded in association with hospital care. These codes provide a standardized way to track health conditions and their treatment outcomes.
Detailed Description
This code indicates a diagnosis of dependence on medications that help with sleep (sedatives), promote sleep (hypnotics), or reduce anxiety (anxiolytics). The 'uncomplicated' designation means the dependence exists without additional medical complications like withdrawal symptoms, intoxication, or other related disorders. This represents a pattern where someone has developed a physical or psychological need for these medications and may experience difficulty functioning without them.
Additional Information
This is a diagnostic code used for billing and medical record purposes. Treatment typically involves careful medical supervision, as sudden discontinuation of these medications can be dangerous. The 'uncomplicated' status means no additional substance-related complications are present at the time of diagnosis.
