About coding essential benign tremor
The ICD-10-CM code for essential benign tremor is G25.0 (Essential tremor).
Within G25 (other extrapyramidal and movement disorders), G25.0 is specifically for essential tremor. Related codes cover drug-induced tremor (G25.1), other specified forms of tremor (G25.2), myoclonus (G25.3), drug-induced chorea (G25.4), other chorea (G25.5), drug induced tics and other tics of organic origin (G25.6), other and unspecified drug induced movement disorders (G25.7), other specified extrapyramidal and movement disorders (G25.8) and 1 more.
Don't report G25.0 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: tremor NOS (R25.1).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
Don't confuse with (Excludes1 for G25.0)
- tremor NOS (R25.1)
