Other sleep disorders
ICD-10 G47.8 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other sleep disorders.
G47.8 encompasses a variety of sleep disorders that do not fall under more specific categories such as sleep apnea or narcolepsy. These disorders can include conditions like restless legs syndrome, circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, and other unspecified sleep disturbances. Patients may experience symptoms such as excessive daytime sleepiness, insomnia, or abnormal sleep patterns that significantly impact their daily functioning. Diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive evaluation, including patient history, sleep studies, and possibly polysomnography to assess sleep architecture and identify any underlying issues. Treatment may vary widely depending on the specific disorder and can include lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, or cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. Accurate coding is essential for proper reimbursement and to ensure that patients receive appropriate care tailored to their specific sleep disorder.
