About G24.0

G24.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for drug induced dystonia. It belongs to category G24 (dystonia), block G20-G26 (extrapyramidal and movement disorders) and chapter 6 (diseases of the nervous system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within G24 (dystonia), G24.0 is specifically for drug induced dystonia. Related codes cover genetic torsion dystonia (G24.1), idiopathic nonfamilial dystonia (G24.2), Spasmodic torticollis (G24.3), idiopathic orofacial dystonia (G24.4), Blepharospasm (G24.5), other dystonia (G24.8) and unspecified (G24.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: G24.01 (dyskinesia), G24.02 (dystonia) and G24.09 (dystonia).

Use an additional code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5).

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