About R29

R29 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other symptoms and signs involving the nervous and musculoskeletal systems. It belongs to block R25-R29 (symptoms and signs involving the nervous and musculoskeletal systems) and chapter 18 (symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 10 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: R29.0 (tetany), R29.1 (Meningismus), R29.2 (reflex), R29.3 (posture), R29.4 (hip), R29.5 (paralysis), R29.6 (falls), R29.7 (score) and 2 more.

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