About coding Dysbasia
The ICD-10-CM code for Dysbasia is R26.2 (Difficulty in walking, not elsewhere classified). The official index lists 5 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on R26.2.
Within R26 (abnormalities of gait and mobility), R26.2 is specifically for difficulty in walking, not elsewhere classified. Related codes cover Ataxic gait (R26.0), paralytic gait (R26.1), other abnormalities of gait and mobility (R26.8) and unspecified abnormalities of gait and mobility (R26.9).
Don't report R26.2 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: falling (R29.6).
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of R26.2, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: unsteadiness on feet (R26.81).
