About coding poor sleep hygiene
The ICD-10-CM code for poor sleep hygiene is Z72.821 (Inadequate sleep hygiene).
Within Z72.82 (problems related to sleep), Z72.821 is specifically for inadequate sleep hygiene. Related codes cover sleep deprivation (Z72.820) and risk of suffocation (smothering) under another while sleeping (Z72.823).
Don't report Z72.821 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: insomnia (F51.0-, G47.0-).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
