What sleep disturbance ICD codes can I use?

There are several sleep disturbance ICD codes you can use and many are quite specific to certain sleep-related problems, like sleep apnea, insomnia, and narcolepsy. These are the following:

G47.9 - Sleep disorder, unspecified

This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have a sleep disorder. The specific sleep disorder is not specified. If a person has a sleep disorder, then their sleep is disturbed to a certain degree, with some having to deal with severe levels of sleep disturbance.

G47.8 - Other sleep disorders

This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have a sleep disorder. This ICD-10 code is best use if the specific sleep disorder that a patient has doesn’t have a specific ICD-10 code.

Z72.820 - Sleep deprivation

This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a person confirmed to be suffering from sleep deprivation.

These are the most general sleep disturbance-related ICD-10 codes. Again, if you have identified the specific causes of the sleep disturbances your patients deal with, use specific ICD codes like those meant for sleep apnea, narcolepsy, insomnia, and more.
