Opioid use, unspecified with intoxication
ICD-10 F11.92 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of opioid use, unspecified with intoxication.
F11.92 refers to a condition characterized by the use of opioids, which are substances that act on the opioid receptors in the brain to produce morphine-like effects. This code is specifically used when there is evidence of intoxication, which may manifest as altered mental status, respiratory depression, or other physiological changes. Opioid use disorder is a complex condition that can lead to significant health complications, including overdose and death. The diagnosis of opioid use with intoxication requires careful assessment of the patient's history, including the type and amount of opioids used, the presence of any co-occurring mental health disorders, and the impact on daily functioning. Treatment often involves a combination of medical intervention, behavioral therapy, and support programs aimed at reducing opioid dependence and preventing relapse. Clinicians must document the specifics of the intoxication episode, including any interventions provided, to ensure accurate coding and appropriate treatment planning.
Detailed history of substance use, current intoxication symptoms, and treatment plan.
Patients presenting with overdose symptoms, requiring immediate intervention.
Consideration of co-occurring mental health disorders and the need for a multidisciplinary approach.
Immediate assessment of vital signs, level of consciousness, and interventions performed.
Patients presenting to the ER with suspected opioid overdose.
Rapid documentation is critical due to the acute nature of the condition.
Used when a patient presents with opioid intoxication requiring immediate intervention.
Detailed documentation of the patient's condition, interventions performed, and response to treatment.
Emergency medicine specialists must ensure rapid and accurate documentation due to the acute nature of the presentation.
Opioid intoxication refers to the effects of consuming opioids, leading to symptoms such as drowsiness and respiratory depression. In contrast, opioid withdrawal occurs when a person who is dependent on opioids reduces or stops their use, leading to symptoms such as anxiety, nausea, and muscle aches.
