ICD-10 Code G25.70 – Drug induced movement disorder, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G25.70 – Drug induced movement disorder, unspecified
What it is
G25.70 identifies a movement disorder caused by a medication or other drug, when the specific type is not documented. Use it when the record confirms a drug-related movement problem but does not name the exact syndrome.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly, records describe involuntary movements, tremor, rigidity, restlessness, or abnormal muscle contractions after drug exposure.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician documents a movement disorder attributed to a drug and no more specific ICD-10 code is supported. It fits cases where the agent is identified, but the movement disorder type remains unspecified. Check documentation for causality and specificity.
Do not use for
Do not use this code when the movement disorder is better described by a specific diagnosis, such as parkinsonism or dystonia. Also avoid it if the record does not link the finding to a drug exposure.
Coding tip
Look for explicit documentation of drug causation and the exact movement disorder; if either is missing, query or code to the most specific supported option.
