Buddy Documentation Tip

HCC Buddy guidance
Documentation of sedative/hypnotic/anxiolytic abuse
Description of perceptual disturbances (visual, auditory, or tactile hallucinations; illusions)
Confirmation that consciousness and orientation are relatively preserved (distinguishing from delirium)
Temporal relationship to cessation or reduction of sedative use

Audit Caution

HCC Buddy guidance
Confusing perceptual disturbance with withdrawal delirium — the key difference is the level of consciousness
Using uncomplicated withdrawal codes when hallucinations are documented
Not monitoring for progression from perceptual disturbances to withdrawal delirium
Coding dependence when only abuse criteria are met

Common Mistakes

HCC Buddy guidance
F13.131 — Sedative abuse with withdrawal delirium; use when consciousness is impaired along with hallucinations
F13.130 — Sedative abuse with withdrawal, uncomplicated; use when no perceptual disturbances occur
F13.150 — Sedative abuse with sedative-induced psychotic disorder with delusions; use when psychosis is not withdrawal-related
F13.232 — Sedative dependence with withdrawal with perceptual disturbance; use when dependence is documented

Is F13.132 an HCC code?

Yes. F13.132 (Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic abuse with withdrawal with perceptual disturbance) maps to HCC 135, Drug Use with Psychotic Complications under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, with a source-labeled community non-dual aged reference coefficient of 0.424. Source-labeled code-level coefficients are references, not member totals. Actual contribution depends on complete member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and model year. HCC Buddy's RAF Calculator supports CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 and shows no score unless every required source and calculation check passes. It is billable for payment year 2026.

Coder answer: F13.132 is billable and maps to V28 HCC 135, Drug Use with Psychotic Complications. Open it in the Code Book for the tabular path, RAF, and MEAT checklist.

These are source-labeled model coefficients, not member totals. A category may still be removed by hierarchy or model cleanup rules. Weights are not directly comparable across models: CMS-HCC V28 and V24 use Community, Non-Dual, Aged; ESRD uses the dialysis continuing-enrollee model; RxHCC is the Part D continuing-enrollee, non-low-income, aged weight (a larger scale than CMS-HCC). ACA/HHS has no single weight — it varies by metal level. Actual per-patient RAF contribution depends on member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and the model year used by the payer. V28 is the CMS-HCC model phased in over payment years 2024–2026; V24 remains available for historical review.

MEAT Criteria for F13.132

For F13.132 to count as a valid HCC diagnosis in a given encounter, the provider's documentation must show MEAT: Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat. A diagnosis from a prior year does not carry forward automatically, it has to be re-documented and supported each calendar year.

  • MMonitor: signs, symptoms, disease progression, or lab trending documented in the note
  • EEvaluate: test results, medication response, or physical findings reviewed by the provider
  • AAssess: explicit mention in the assessment or plan with acknowledgment of status
  • TTreat: medication, referral, procedure, therapy, or counseling tied to the diagnosis

Only one of M/E/A/T is required to support the code, but the documentation must be specific enough to show that the provider actually addressed F13.132 during that encounter, not just copy-forwarded from a problem list.

What This Code Means

F13.132 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic abuse with withdrawal with perceptual disturbance. A person misuses sedatives, sleeping pills, or anti-anxiety medications and is experiencing withdrawal with hallucinations, delusions, or other perceptual disturbances while maintaining clear consciousness. F13.132 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for mental, behavioral and neurodevelopmental disorders (f01-f99), within the section covering mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance use (f10-f19).

Under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, F13.132 maps to Drug Use with Psychotic Complications (HCC 135) with a source-labeled community, non-dual, aged reference coefficient of 0.424. No V24 mapping is shown for F13.132; use the applicable model and payment year when reviewing the V28 mapping. V28 is the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model that reached 100% phase-in for payment year 2026, replacing V24 which was used during the PY2024–PY2025 transition. Source-labeled code-level coefficients are references, not member totals. Actual contribution depends on complete member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and model year. HCC Buddy's RAF Calculator supports CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 and shows no score unless every required source and calculation check passes.

Perceptual disturbance indicates hallucinations or delusions without the confusion of delirium. Because F13.132 maps to an HCC category, the provider's documentation must satisfy MEAT criteria (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) before the diagnosis is used for risk adjustment. When documentation is ambiguous, coders should issue a provider query rather than assume the highest-specificity variant.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for F13.132 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Perceptual disturbance indicates hallucinations or delusions without the confusion of delirium
  • Distinguish from F13.131 (delirium) by noting that consciousness and orientation are relatively preserved

Clinical Significance

Sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic abuse with withdrawal with perceptual disturbance represents a serious withdrawal complication where the patient experiences hallucinations or illusions while maintaining relatively clear consciousness. This distinguishes from withdrawal delirium where consciousness is impaired. Perceptual disturbances during sedative withdrawal indicate significant central nervous system excitability and risk for progression to withdrawal seizures or delirium.

Documentation Requirements

  • Documentation of sedative/hypnotic/anxiolytic abuse
  • Description of perceptual disturbances (visual, auditory, or tactile hallucinations; illusions)
  • Confirmation that consciousness and orientation are relatively preserved (distinguishing from delirium)
  • Temporal relationship to cessation or reduction of sedative use
  • Exclusion of other causes of hallucinations
  • Monitoring for progression to withdrawal delirium or seizures

Commonly Confused Codes

  • F13.131: Sedative abuse with withdrawal delirium; use when consciousness is impaired along with hallucinations
  • F13.130: Sedative abuse with withdrawal, uncomplicated; use when no perceptual disturbances occur
  • F13.150: Sedative abuse with sedative-induced psychotic disorder with delusions; use when psychosis is not withdrawal-related
  • F13.232: Sedative dependence with withdrawal with perceptual disturbance; use when dependence is documented

Because F13.132 maps to an HCC category, the documentation must satisfy MEAT criteria (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) before the diagnosis is used for risk adjustment.

F13.132 maps to CMS-HCC V28 category 135, Drug Use with Psychotic Complications. See the ICD-10 to HCC mapping hub for how the V28 crosswalk works. The mapping identifies a payment HCC category for F13.132. Review its source-labeled HCC coefficient above, check the RAF Calculator with complete member context for CMS-HCC V28 PY2026, and confirm the documentation the chart needs before the code is submitted. HCC Buddy shows no RAF score unless every required source and calculation check passes.
