0.000What This Code Means
A person is experiencing withdrawal from sedative, hypnotic, or anti-anxiety medications with perceptual disturbances such as hallucinations or illusions.
Coding Tips
- •Distinguish between withdrawal with perceptual disturbances (this code) and withdrawal delirium (F13.931) - perceptual disturbances occur without full delirium
- •Document specific perceptual symptoms and timeline to differentiate from other psychiatric conditions
Clinical Significance
Withdrawal with perceptual disturbances from unspecified sedative use indicates hallucinations or illusions during withdrawal without full delirium. This is a critical warning sign of potential progression to withdrawal delirium and indicates significant neurological disturbance. The perceptual symptoms reflect central nervous system hyperexcitability during withdrawal from sedatives.
Documentation Requirements
- ✓Description of perceptual disturbances (hallucinations, illusions — visual, auditory, tactile)
- ✓Confirmation that full delirium criteria are NOT met
- ✓Timeline of substance cessation and onset of perceptual symptoms
- ✓Withdrawal severity assessment (CIWA-B or equivalent)
- ✓Monitoring plan for potential delirium progression
- ✓Substance identification if possible
