About coding degenerative tic
The ICD-10-CM code for degenerative tic is G25.69 (Other tics of organic origin). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on G25.69.
Within G25.6, choose G25.69 (Other tics of organic origin) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: drug induced tics (G25.61).
Don't report G25.69 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: habit spasm (F95.9), tic NOS (F95.9) and Tourette's syndrome (F95.2).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
