2025 ICD-10-CM code G47.10
(Valid) Effective Date: N/A Episodic and paroxysmal disorders - Sleep disorders 6 (Diseases of the Nervous System) Feed
Hypersomnia, unspecified. This condition refers to excessive daytime sleepiness despite adequate sleep duration.
Medical necessity for treatment is established by demonstrating how the hypersomnia significantly impacts the patient's daily life and functioning.This can include impairment in work/school performance, social interactions, and overall quality of life.Documentation should justify the chosen treatment approach based on the patient's specific needs and clinical presentation.
Clinicians diagnose unspecified hypersomnia based on patient history, reported symptoms, and physical examination. Additional tests like blood work, CT scans, and sleep studies (polysomnography) may be ordered to identify any underlying medical conditions causing the hypersomnia. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, medications such as stimulants, clonidine, levodopa, bromocriptine, antidepressants, or monoamine oxidase inhibitors.
In simple words: Unspecified hypersomnia means you feel very sleepy during the day, even if you slept enough at night. You might fall asleep without meaning to, have trouble staying awake, and feel tired even after waking up.Doctors use this term when they haven't figured out the specific reason for your sleepiness.
Unspecified hypersomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, even after getting a full night's sleep.Individuals with this condition may fall asleep unintentionally during the day, struggle to stay awake, and experience difficulty waking up.This can lead to problems with work, school, and social life.The exact cause of unspecified hypersomnia is not documented in this diagnosis.
Example 1: A 20-year-old college student reports falling asleep during class despite getting 8 hours of sleep each night. They experience difficulty concentrating and completing assignments due to excessive daytime sleepiness.No underlying medical condition is found, leading to a diagnosis of unspecified hypersomnia., A 45-year-old office worker finds themselves nodding off during meetings and struggling to stay awake at their desk. They report feeling unrefreshed even after sleeping for 9-10 hours.After ruling out other sleep disorders and medical conditions, the physician diagnoses unspecified hypersomnia., A 30-year-old individual experiences sudden, involuntary episodes of falling asleep throughout the day, even while engaging in activities like driving. They report feeling disoriented and confused upon waking.The physician diagnoses unspecified hypersomnia after conducting a thorough evaluation.
Documentation should include detailed sleep history (sleep duration, quality, daytime sleepiness patterns), medical history, family history of sleep disorders, any relevant symptoms (e.g., fatigue, difficulty concentrating, hallucinations), and results of any diagnostic tests performed (e.g., polysomnography, blood work, CT scan).
