Opioid abuse with other opioid-induced disorder
ICD-10 F11.18 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of opioid abuse with other opioid-induced disorder.
F11.18 refers to a diagnosis of opioid abuse accompanied by other opioid-induced disorders, which may include conditions such as opioid-induced mood disorders, opioid-induced psychotic disorders, or opioid-induced sleep disorders. This code is used when a patient exhibits a pattern of opioid use that leads to significant impairment or distress, and is also experiencing additional complications related to opioid use. Opioid abuse is characterized by a compulsive pattern of consumption, leading to adverse consequences in various aspects of life, including social, occupational, and interpersonal functioning. The presence of other opioid-induced disorders complicates the clinical picture, necessitating a comprehensive treatment approach that may include behavioral therapies, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and psychosocial support. Accurate coding is essential for appropriate treatment planning and reimbursement, as well as for tracking the prevalence and impact of opioid-related disorders in the healthcare system.
