Alcohol use, unspecified with alcohol-induced sleep disorder

This code signifies a patient diagnosed with an alcohol use disorder where the specific pattern of use (e.g., abuse, dependence) is not documented, and they are experiencing a sleep disturbance directly attributed to their alcohol consumption. The sleep disorder is considered a direct physiological consequence of alcohol's effects on the central nervous system.

Use this code when documentation clearly links a patient's unspecified alcohol use to an alcohol-induced sleep disorder, such as insomnia, hypersomnia, or circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorder. This code is appropriate when the provider has not specified whether the alcohol use is abuse or dependence, but the causal relationship to the sleep disturbance is established.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "alcohol-induced" or "due to alcohol" in relation to the sleep disorder.
• If the type of alcohol use (abuse or dependence) is specified, a more precise F10.x82 code should be used.
• Code also any specific sleep disorder (e.g., G47.00 for insomnia) if documented, but the F10.982 should be primary if the alcohol is the underlying cause.
