Other hypersomnia
ICD-10 G47.19 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other hypersomnia.
Other hypersomnia encompasses a range of sleep disorders characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness not attributed to other specific sleep disorders such as narcolepsy or sleep apnea. Patients may experience prolonged sleep episodes, difficulty waking, and an overwhelming need to sleep during the day. This condition can significantly impact daily functioning, leading to decreased productivity, impaired cognitive function, and increased risk of accidents. The etiology of other hypersomnia can vary, including genetic factors, psychiatric conditions, and other medical disorders. Diagnosis typically involves a thorough clinical evaluation, including sleep history, physical examination, and may require polysomnography or multiple sleep latency tests to rule out other sleep disorders. Treatment options may include lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, and addressing any underlying conditions contributing to excessive sleepiness. Accurate diagnosis and coding are crucial for effective management and reimbursement.
