F13.91

What This Code Means

This code describes a patient who has a history of sedative, hypnotic, or anxiolytic substance use disorder but is currently in remission, meaning they are not actively using these substances. The specific pattern or severity of their past use is not documented.

Coding Tips

• •Use this code only when the patient is confirmed to be in remission from substance use; if active use is occurring, select a different F13 code indicating current use
• •Remission status should be clearly documented in the medical record; consider querying the provider if the remission status is unclear or if the patient is currently receiving treatment for the disorder
