2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F11.91 – Opioid use, unspecified, in remission

What it is

This code identifies a history of opioid use disorder that is currently in remission. Use it when the patient is not meeting active disorder criteria, but the opioid-related condition remains clinically relevant.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Records may note sustained abstinence, no current opioid-related impairment, or remission status after prior opioid misuse or dependence.

When to use this code

Use this code when the provider documents opioid use disorder, unspecified, as in remission. It is appropriate for follow-up visits, problem lists, or ongoing behavioral health monitoring when the disorder is not active. If the note only says “history of” without remission, check documentation.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for active opioid use disorder, intoxication, withdrawal, or opioid poisoning. Also avoid it when the chart does not clearly state remission status.

Coding tip

Confirm that “in remission” is explicitly documented before assigning F11.91.
