G25.6Drug induced tics and other tics of organic origin

G25.6 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for drug induced tics and other tics of organic origin. It belongs to category G25 (other extrapyramidal and movement disorders), 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within G25, choose G25.6 (Drug induced tics and other tics of organic origin) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: essential tremor (G25.0), drug-induced tremor (G25.1), other specified forms of tremor (G25.2), myoclonus (G25.3), drug-induced chorea (G25.4), other chorea (G25.5), other and unspecified drug induced movement disorders (G25.7), other specified extrapyramidal and movement disorders (G25.8) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: G25.61 (tics) and G25.69 (origin).

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