What This Code Means

A person is dependent on opioids and is currently intoxicated, but the specific type of intoxication symptoms is not documented or specified.

Coding Tips

  • Use this code only when intoxication is present but details about perceptual disturbances or other specific symptoms are not documented
  • This is a less specific code; try to obtain more detailed documentation when possible

Clinical Significance

Opioid dependence with intoxication, unspecified captures cases where a dependent patient is intoxicated but the specific nature of the intoxication (uncomplicated, with delirium, or with perceptual disturbance) is not documented. This should prompt a provider query when possible to improve documentation specificity.

Documentation Requirements

  • Provider documentation of opioid dependence
  • Documentation of current intoxication
  • Clinical signs of intoxication present
  • Documentation supporting why specific intoxication type cannot be determined
