ICD-10 Code F11.10 – Opioid Abuse, Uncomplicated (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F11.10 – Opioid abuse, uncomplicated
What it is
F11.10 identifies opioid abuse without documented complications. Use it when the record states opioid abuse or misuse, but does not describe dependence, intoxication, withdrawal, or another opioid-related disorder.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly, the chart may note problematic opioid use, impaired control, or continued use despite harm, but you should not infer dependence or intoxication unless documented.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician documents uncomplicated opioid abuse and no more specific opioid-related diagnosis applies. It may also fit follow-up visits where the problem remains active and is still being managed. Check the note for any stated complication or alternate substance-use category before assigning it.
Do not use for
Do not use F11.10 for opioid dependence, intoxication, withdrawal, or opioid use with a specified complication. If the documentation is unclear, check documentation rather than assuming abuse.
Coding tip
Code only what is explicitly documented, and verify whether the provider used abuse versus dependence wording.
