Opioid use, unspecified with intoxication, uncomplicated

This code signifies a patient presenting with an acute opioid intoxication that is not complicated by delirium, coma, or other specified conditions. The patient's opioid use is not further specified as abuse or dependence, indicating a lack of detailed documentation regarding the pattern or severity of their opioid use disorder.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates opioid intoxication without any further specified complications, and the provider has not documented the specific pattern of opioid use (e.g., abuse, dependence). This is appropriate when the medical record describes symptoms such as miosis, respiratory depression, or altered mental status directly attributable to opioid ingestion, but without evidence of more severe neurological or systemic sequelae.

• Do not use this code if the documentation specifies opioid abuse or dependence; instead, select a more specific F11.xx code.
• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "uncomplicated" or lacks any mention of complications (e.g., delirium, coma, aspiration pneumonia).
• If the specific opioid is known, consider using a more precise code from the F11.xx series that identifies the substance.
