Hypersomnia due to medical condition
ICD-10 G47.14 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of hypersomnia due to medical condition.
Hypersomnia due to medical condition is characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness that is primarily caused by an underlying medical condition. This condition can significantly impact a patient's quality of life and may be associated with various disorders, including neurological conditions, metabolic disorders, and psychiatric illnesses. Common medical conditions that can lead to hypersomnia include hypothyroidism, chronic kidney disease, and certain types of cancer. Patients may present with prolonged sleep episodes, difficulty waking up, and impaired cognitive function. Diagnosis typically involves a thorough clinical evaluation, including a detailed medical history, physical examination, and possibly sleep studies to rule out other sleep disorders such as sleep apnea or narcolepsy. Treatment focuses on managing the underlying medical condition and may include pharmacological interventions, lifestyle modifications, and behavioral therapies. Accurate coding of hypersomnia due to medical conditions is crucial for appropriate reimbursement and to ensure that patients receive the necessary care for their underlying health issues.
Detailed neurological examination findings and any relevant imaging studies.
Patients presenting with excessive daytime sleepiness and a history of neurological disorders.
Ensure that all neurological conditions are documented and linked to the hypersomnia diagnosis.
Results from polysomnography and other sleep studies, along with a comprehensive sleep history.
Patients undergoing evaluation for sleep disorders who have comorbid medical conditions.
Accurate interpretation of sleep study results is crucial for proper coding.
Used to evaluate patients with suspected sleep disorders, including hypersomnia.
Results of the sleep study must be documented and linked to the diagnosis.
Sleep specialists should ensure comprehensive reporting of findings.
G47.14 is specifically for hypersomnia due to a medical condition, while G47.10 is used for unspecified hypersomnia. Accurate documentation of the underlying condition is essential for using G47.14.
