CMSSource: CMS FY 2027 ICD-10-CM dataset · Effective Oct 1, 2026 – Sep 30, 2027

F13.281 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced sexual dysfunction. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 894 through 897. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a complication or comorbidity (CC) and moves an inpatient stay to a higher severity level within its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 11 closely related codes. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Sedative-related disorders.

For Medicare Advantage risk adjustment, F13.281 maps to CMS-HCC Category 137 (Drug Use Disorder, Moderate/Severe, or Drug Use with Non-Psychotic Complications) under the V28 model, adding a risk factor of about 0.424 for a community, non-dual, aged beneficiary in payment year 2027.

Medicines

Medicines can treat diseases and improve your health. If you are like most people, you need to take medicine at some point in your life. You may need to take medicine every day, or you may only need to take medicine once in a while. Either way, you want to make sure that your medicines are safe, and that they will help you get better.

Questions About F13.281Overview

Is F13.281 a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced sexual dysfunction on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

What MS-DRG does F13.281 group to?

When sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced sexual dysfunction is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 894, 897, 895, 896, with relative weights from 0.6272 to 1.6610 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Is F13.281 a CC or MCC?

CMS lists F13.281 as a CC (complication or comorbidity) for FY 2027. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, it moves the inpatient stay to a higher-weighted DRG within its severity family. It does not count when the principal diagnosis is one of the 11 closely related codes in its exclusion list.

Can F13.281 be reported with a code from F13.1?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at F13.2, which applies to F13.281, lists "sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-related abuse (F13.1-)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).

What is the ICD-9 equivalent of F13.281?

Under the General Equivalence Mappings, sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced sexual dysfunction converts to ICD-9-CM 292.89 (drug mental disorder NEC) and 304.10 (sed,hyp,anxiolyt dep-NOS). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.

What HCC is F13.281?

F13.281 (sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic dependence with sedative, hypnotic or anxiolytic-induced sexual dysfunction) maps to CMS-HCC Category 137 (Drug Use Disorder, Moderate/Severe, or Drug Use with Non-Psychotic Complications), commonly written as HCC 137, in the CMS-HCC V28 model used for Medicare Advantage risk adjustment in payment year 2027. It mapped to HCC 55 under the retired V24 model. It also maps in the PACE (CMS-HCC V22), ESRD (V21), and ESRD (V24) models. It does not map to any RxHCC in the Part D prescription drug model.

Does F13.281 risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage payment?

Yes. When documented and reported on a Medicare Advantage encounter, F13.281 adds a risk adjustment factor of about 0.424 to the beneficiary's RAF score for a community, non-dual, aged enrollee (published V28 weights range from 0.297 to 0.502 depending on the payment segment). A more severe related category (HCC 135 and HCC 136) supersedes it when both are reported. See the full factor table on the HCC 137 category page.
