The ICD-10 code for Hypersomnia, unspecified is G47.10.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G47.10 – Hypersomnia, unspecified

What it is

G47.10 identifies hypersomnia when the record does not specify a cause or subtype. Use it for excessive sleepiness or prolonged sleep that is documented without a more specific diagnosis.

Clinical signs

Typical findings include excessive daytime sleepiness, long sleep periods, and difficulty staying awake during routine activities. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Use this code when the clinician documents hypersomnia but does not name narcolepsy, sleep apnea, medication effect, or another explained cause. It also fits cases where the chart simply states “hypersomnia” or “excessive sleepiness” without further detail.

Do not use for

Do not use it when the cause of sleepiness is documented, such as sleep apnea, narcolepsy, or a medication-related disorder. Check documentation.

Coding tip

Code the more specific sleep disorder first if the provider identifies one; use G47.10 only when hypersomnia remains unspecified.
