In simple words: This code describes a condition where a person's opioid use, which hasn't been specified as abuse or dependence, is causing problems with their sleep.

Unspecified opioid use with opioid-induced sleep disorder refers to excessive consumption of opioids developing into behavioral, physical, and emotional changes that may affect relationships and work responsibilities. Individuals experience decreased or disturbed sleep.

Example 1: A patient presents with insomnia and daytime fatigue. Upon further investigation, the physician discovers the patient has been using opioids regularly for pain management, although not to the extent of abuse or dependence. The patient is diagnosed with opioid-induced sleep disorder., A patient undergoing treatment for chronic pain with opioid medication reports difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep. They deny any symptoms of opioid abuse or dependence.The physician documents opioid use, unspecified with opioid-induced sleep disorder., A patient is admitted to the hospital for an unrelated condition. During the admission, it is noted they use opioids regularly and exhibit symptoms of a sleep disorder. The patient denies excessive opioid use, and no signs of opioid abuse or dependence are present. The physician documents unspecified opioid use with opioid-induced sleep disorder as a secondary diagnosis.

Documentation should include evidence of opioid use, details of the sleep disturbance (e.g., insomnia, hypersomnia, abnormal sleep behaviors), and the absence of opioid abuse or dependence.

** Excludes1: opioid abuse (F11.1-) and opioid dependence (F11.2-)
