F51
F51 — Sleep disorders not due to a substance or known physiological condition
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
F51 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for sleep disorders not due to a substance or known physiological condition. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist
The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.
- organic sleep disorders (G47.-)
Other codes that can never be billed with F51
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at F51. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading F51 alone.
Risk adjustment
F51 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
