ICD-10 Code F95 – Tic disorder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F95 – Tic disorder
What it is
F95 identifies tic disorder, a condition marked by sudden, brief, repetitive movements or vocalizations. Use it when the record documents a tic disorder without a more specific subtype.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Tics are typically involuntary, repetitive, and may be motor, vocal, or both, with waxing and waning severity.
When to use this code
Use F95 when the clinician diagnoses tic disorder and does not specify a more detailed tic diagnosis. It may apply in outpatient, inpatient, or behavioral health records when tics are the primary documented problem. Check documentation for chronicity and type.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for transient, unspecified symptoms without a documented tic disorder diagnosis. If the record identifies a more specific tic condition, code that diagnosis instead.
Coding tip
Verify whether the provider documented a specific tic subtype before assigning the nonspecific F95 code.
