Audit Caution

HCC Buddy guidance
Coding this as withdrawal delirium when the patient maintains orientation but has hallucinations
Coding uncomplicated withdrawal when perceptual disturbances are documented
Not monitoring for delirium progression in a patient with perceptual disturbances
Using an unspecified use code when the withdrawal context strongly suggests dependence

Common Mistakes

HCC Buddy guidance
F13.931 — Unspecified use with withdrawal delirium; full delirium with disorientation
F13.930 — Unspecified use with withdrawal uncomplicated; no perceptual disturbances
F13.232 — DEPENDENCE with withdrawal perceptual disturbance; use when dependence is confirmed
F13.951 — Unspecified use with induced hallucinations; occurs during active use, not withdrawal

Is F13.932 an HCC code?

Yes. F13.932 (Sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with withdrawal with perceptual disturbances) 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: F13.932 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 review for F13.932

For F13.932, confirm that the documentation supports the diagnosis and meets the applicable coding, encounter, program and payer requirements. MEAT (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) is a review mnemonic, not a universal CMS coding rule.

  • 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

What This Code Means

F13.932 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic use, unspecified with withdrawal with perceptual disturbances. A person is experiencing withdrawal from sedative, hypnotic, or anti-anxiety medications with perceptual disturbances such as hallucinations or illusions. F13.932 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, F13.932 maps to Drug Use with Psychotic Complications (HCC 135) with a source-labeled community, non-dual, aged reference coefficient of 0.424. For CY2026 non-PACE Medicare Advantage, CMS uses 100% of the 2024 CMS-HCC model (V28). PACE uses a separate model blend. 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.

Distinguish between withdrawal with perceptual disturbances (this code) and withdrawal delirium (F13.931) - perceptual disturbances occur without full delirium. For F13.932, confirm that the documentation supports the diagnosis and meets the applicable coding, encounter, program and payer requirements. MEAT (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) is a review mnemonic, not a universal CMS coding rule. 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 F13.932 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

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

Commonly Confused Codes

  • F13.931: Unspecified use with withdrawal delirium; full delirium with disorientation
  • F13.930: Unspecified use with withdrawal uncomplicated; no perceptual disturbances
  • F13.232: DEPENDENCE with withdrawal perceptual disturbance; use when dependence is confirmed
  • F13.951: Unspecified use with induced hallucinations; occurs during active use, not withdrawal
  • F13.939: Unspecified use with withdrawal unspecified; use when complications cannot be assessed

F13.932 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 F13.932. 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.
