ICD-10 Code F11.229 – Opioid dependence with intoxication, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F11.229 – Opioid dependence with intoxication, unspecified
What it is
This code identifies opioid dependence with signs of intoxication, but the specific opioid is not named. Use it when documentation shows dependence and an intoxicated state, yet the chart does not specify the drug.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Intoxication may include impaired judgment, reduced alertness, slowed breathing, or other opioid effects, alongside documented dependence.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents opioid dependence with intoxication and does not identify the opioid involved. It also fits cases where intoxication is clear, but the record lacks enough detail for a more specific opioid-related code. Check documentation if the substance or pattern is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for opioid use without dependence, or for dependence without intoxication. If the opioid is specified or another opioid-related diagnosis is documented, code that more precise option instead.
Coding tip
Query the provider when the opioid type or intoxication status is unclear; specificity may change the final code.
