Opioid use, unspecified with opioid-induced psychotic disorder, unspecified
ICD-10 F11.959 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of opioid use, unspecified with opioid-induced psychotic disorder, unspecified.
F11.959 refers to a diagnosis of opioid use disorder characterized by the presence of opioid-induced psychotic disorder, where the specifics of the opioid use are not clearly defined. Opioid use disorder is a chronic condition marked by an individual's inability to control their use of opioids, leading to significant impairment or distress. The psychotic disorder can manifest as hallucinations, delusions, or disorganized thinking, which are directly attributable to the use of opioids. This code is utilized when the clinician identifies the presence of psychotic symptoms but does not specify the type or extent of opioid use. Treatment often involves a combination of pharmacotherapy, such as methadone or buprenorphine, and psychosocial interventions, including cognitive-behavioral therapy and support groups. Accurate coding is crucial for appropriate treatment planning and reimbursement, as well as for tracking the prevalence of opioid-related disorders in the population.
