2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F10.982 – Alcohol use, unspecified with alcohol-induced sleep disorder

What it is

This code identifies alcohol use, not otherwise specified, when the patient also has a sleep disorder caused by alcohol. Use it when the documentation links the sleep problem directly to alcohol use.

Clinical signs

Patients may report insomnia, fragmented sleep, or abnormal sleep patterns after alcohol use. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation, and confirm the provider identifies the sleep disorder as alcohol-induced.

When to use this code

Use this code when the record states unspecified alcohol use with an alcohol-related sleep disorder, such as sleep disturbance tied to drinking. It is appropriate when the provider documents a causal relationship between alcohol and the sleep condition. Check documentation if the note is unclear about whether the sleep disorder is substance-induced.

Do not use for

Do not use it for sleep problems without documented alcohol causation or for other specified alcohol-related disorders. Do not code it if the chart only mentions alcohol use and insomnia separately without a linked diagnosis.

Coding tip

Verify that the provider explicitly connects the sleep disorder to alcohol use before assigning F10.982.
