What This Code Means

F51.04 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for psychophysiologic insomnia. Psychophysiologic insomnia is sleep difficulty caused by anxiety and worry about sleep itself, often creating a cycle where fear of not sleeping prevents the person from falling asleep. F51.04 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for mental, behavioral and neurodevelopmental disorders (f01-f99), within the section covering behavioral syndromes associated with physiological disturbances and physical factors (f50-f59).

F51.04 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

Document evidence of anxiety or worry specifically related to sleep and the sleep environment.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for F51.04 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
