Opioid use, unspecified with intoxication, uncomplicated
ICD-10 F11.920 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of opioid use, unspecified with intoxication, uncomplicated.
F11.920 refers to a diagnosis of opioid use disorder characterized by the use of opioids without specification of the type or source, accompanied by uncomplicated intoxication. This condition is marked by a pattern of opioid consumption that leads to significant impairment or distress, but without the presence of severe complications such as respiratory depression or coma. Patients may present with symptoms such as euphoria, drowsiness, and altered mental status. The uncomplicated nature of the intoxication indicates that the patient does not exhibit severe physiological or psychological symptoms that would necessitate more intensive medical intervention. Treatment often involves supportive care, monitoring, and potentially the use of opioid antagonists like naloxone in cases of overdose. Understanding the nuances of opioid use and its effects is crucial for effective management and coding, as it directly impacts treatment plans and healthcare outcomes.
