Other specified extrapyramidal and movement disorders
ICD-10 G25.89 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other specified extrapyramidal and movement disorders.
G25.89 encompasses a variety of movement disorders that do not fall under more specific categories within the ICD-10 coding system. These disorders can include atypical forms of Parkinsonism, drug-induced movement disorders, and other conditions that affect the extrapyramidal system, which is responsible for the coordination of movement. Patients may present with symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability. The diagnosis often requires a comprehensive clinical evaluation, including a detailed patient history and neurological examination. The use of dopaminergic medications, such as levodopa or dopamine agonists, is common in managing these disorders, particularly in Parkinson's disease. However, the response to treatment can vary significantly among patients, and some may experience side effects or develop medication-induced movement disorders. Accurate coding is essential for proper treatment planning and reimbursement, as well as for tracking the prevalence and outcomes of these conditions in clinical practice.
Detailed neurological examination findings, medication history, and response to treatment.
Diagnosis of atypical Parkinsonism, management of drug-induced movement disorders.
Ensure clarity in documentation regarding the specific type of movement disorder and any associated symptoms.
Assessment of psychiatric symptoms related to movement disorders, including side effects of psychotropic medications.
Management of patients with Parkinson's disease experiencing depression or anxiety.
Document any psychiatric evaluations and their relation to movement disorder symptoms.
Used for follow-up visits for patients with movement disorders.
Document history, examination, and medical decision-making.
Neurologists should ensure detailed notes on neurological assessments.
G25.89 includes various movement disorders that are not classified elsewhere, such as atypical Parkinsonism and drug-induced movement disorders.
Use G25.89 when the specific movement disorder is not clearly defined or documented, and no other specific code applies.
