Opioid use, unspecified with intoxication, unspecified

This code signifies a diagnosis of opioid use disorder where the specific pattern or severity of use is not documented, and the patient is experiencing acute opioid intoxication. Intoxication refers to the transient symptoms that develop during or shortly after opioid use, leading to clinically significant problematic behavioral or psychological changes.

Use this code when documentation indicates opioid intoxication, but the specific type of opioid (e.g., heroin, oxycodone) is not specified, and there's no further detail regarding the pattern of opioid use (e.g., mild, moderate, severe, in remission). This code is appropriate when the provider notes "opioid intoxication" without additional clarifying details about the use disorder or the specific substance.

• Always seek clarification from the provider if the specific opioid or the severity of the use disorder can be identified, as more specific codes are available.
• Do not use this code if the documentation specifies a particular opioid (e.g., F11.129 for opioid abuse with intoxication, unspecified).
• This code should be sequenced as a primary diagnosis when the reason for the encounter is the opioid intoxication.
