ICD-10 Code G47.19 – Other hypersomnia (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide

The ICD-10 code for Other hypersomnia is G47.19.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G47.19 – Other hypersomnia

What it is

G47.19 identifies hypersomnia that does not fit a more specific sleep disorder code. Use it when documentation describes excessive sleepiness or prolonged sleep time without a clearer cause.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly recorded findings include persistent daytime sleepiness, long sleep episodes, difficulty waking, or sleep inertia when the chart supports a hypersomnia diagnosis.

When to use this code

Use G47.19 when the provider documents other hypersomnia, idiopathic hypersomnia, or a similar nonspecific hypersomnia diagnosis and no more specific ICD-10-CM code applies. It may also fit cases where excess sleepiness is described but narcolepsy, sleep apnea, and medication-related causes are excluded in the record.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for narcolepsy, sleep apnea, or hypersomnia clearly due to another condition or substance. Check documentation if the chart points to a specific sleep disorder or another primary diagnosis.

Coding tip

Code the documented sleep disorder exactly as stated, and verify whether the provider excluded more specific causes before assigning G47.19.
