Opioid use, unspecified with unspecified opioid-induced disorder
ICD-10 F11.99 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of opioid use, unspecified with unspecified opioid-induced disorder.
F11.99 refers to a condition characterized by the use of opioids without specification of the type or severity of the opioid-induced disorder. Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a complex condition that can manifest as a range of symptoms, including cravings, loss of control over use, and continued use despite negative consequences. Patients may experience withdrawal symptoms when not using opioids, which can include anxiety, nausea, and muscle pain. Intoxication can lead to respiratory depression, sedation, and overdose. Treatment options vary and may include behavioral therapies, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with buprenorphine or methadone, and support groups. Accurate coding is essential for appropriate treatment planning and reimbursement, as well as for tracking the prevalence of opioid use disorders in the population.
