ICD-10 Code G47.8 – Other sleep disorders (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide

The ICD-10 code for Other sleep disorders is G47.8.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G47.8 – Other sleep disorders

What it is

G47.8 is used for sleep disorders that do not fit a more specific ICD-10 sleep code. It covers other documented sleep-related conditions when the record supports a disorder, but not a named category.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see persistent sleep disturbance, abnormal sleep behavior, or disrupted sleep quality that is not better classified elsewhere.

When to use this code

Use this code when the clinician documents an “other” sleep disorder and no more specific diagnosis is available. It is appropriate when the chart describes a sleep problem but does not support insomnia, apnea, or another defined sleep disorder. Check documentation before assigning it.

Do not use for

Do not use G47.8 if the record supports a more specific sleep disorder code. Avoid it for nonspecific poor sleep without a documented disorder; code the confirmed diagnosis instead.

Coding tip

If the provider writes only “sleep disturbance,” query for a clearer diagnosis before coding G47.8.
