The ICD-10 code for Other extrapyramidal and movement disorders is G25.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G25 – Other extrapyramidal and movement disorders

What it is

G25 identifies movement disorders that do not fit a more specific extrapyramidal diagnosis. It covers abnormal involuntary movements, such as tremor or tics, when the record supports this broader category.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see involuntary movements, abnormal muscle activity, or motor control problems that are not better classified elsewhere.

When to use this code

Use G25 when the provider documents an extrapyramidal or movement disorder but does not name a more specific codeable condition. It is also appropriate when the chart describes a nonspecific movement disorder and you cannot assign a more exact diagnosis. Check documentation if the record suggests a secondary cause.

Do not use for

Do not use G25 for movement disorders that have a specific ICD-10-CM code, such as Parkinson disease, dystonia, or chorea, when documented. Also avoid it when the abnormal movement is part of another confirmed condition.

Coding tip

Code the most specific movement disorder documented, and use G25 only when the provider’s wording remains nonspecific.
