What This Code Means

This code describes a patient who uses opioids (such as heroin, prescription painkillers, or other opioid substances) in an unspecified pattern and has developed a medical condition caused by the opioid use that is not classified elsewhere. Examples include opioid-induced sleep disorders or other complications from opioid use.

Coding Tips

• •Use this code only when the specific pattern of opioid use (occasional, continuous, or in remission) cannot be determined from the medical record
• •The 'other opioid-induced disorder' portion indicates a complication from opioid use; if a more specific opioid-related condition is documented (such as opioid-induced depression or anxiety), use the more specific code instead

Clinical Significance

This code captures other specified opioid-induced disorders that do not fit into the more specific categories like psychosis, sexual dysfunction, or sleep disorder. Examples include opioid-induced hyperalgesia, opioid-induced constipation of clinical significance, or opioid-induced endocrinopathy. Documenting these conditions demonstrates the full clinical complexity of opioid use and supports appropriate risk adjustment.

Documentation Requirements

• ✓Documentation of opioid use (substance and pattern if known)
• ✓Specific description of the opioid-induced disorder (not psychosis, sexual dysfunction, or sleep disorder)
• ✓Causal relationship statement linking the disorder to opioid use
• ✓Clinical findings supporting the induced disorder diagnosis
• ✓Exclusion of other potential causes for the induced disorder
