2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F11.23 – Opioid dependence with withdrawal
What it is
F11.23 identifies opioid dependence with withdrawal. Use it when the patient has opioid dependence and is currently experiencing withdrawal symptoms after reducing or stopping opioid use.
Clinical signs

When to use this code
Use this code when the record documents opioid dependence and withdrawal together. It fits encounters for evaluation, monitoring, or management of withdrawal related to opioid dependence.
Choose this code only when withdrawal is specifically documented. If the note mentions opioid use without dependence or without withdrawal, check documentation.

Do not use for uncomplicated opioid dependence without withdrawal, opioid abuse, or opioid intoxication. Check documentation if the record does not clearly state withdrawal.
Coding tip
Confirm both dependence and withdrawal are documented in the same encounter before assigning F11.23.
