About F51.8

F51.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other sleep disorders not due to a substance or known physiological condition. It belongs to category F51 (sleep disorders not due to a substance or known physiological condition), block F50-F59 (behavioral syndromes associated with physiological disturbances and physical factors) and chapter 5 (mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within F51, choose F51.8 (Other sleep disorders not due to a substance or known physiological condition) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: insomnia not due to a substance or known physiological condition (F51.0), hypersomnia not due to a substance or known physiological condition (F51.1), Sleepwalking [somnambulism] (F51.3), sleep terrors [night terrors] (F51.4), Nightmare disorder (F51.5) and sleep disorder not due to a substance or known physiological condition, unspecified (F51.9).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 887 (Other Mental Disorder Diagnoses, relative weight 1.1139), in MDC 19 (Mental Diseases and Disorders), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 307.49 (other specific disorders of sleep of nonorganic origin).
