ICD-10 Code G43.82 – Menstrual migraine, not intractable (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G43.82 – Menstrual migraine, not intractable
What it is
G43.82 identifies migraine attacks linked to the menstrual cycle that are not described as intractable. Use it when the record states menstrual migraine and does not document status migrainosus or treatment resistance.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include recurrent migraine headaches occurring around menses, often with throbbing pain, nausea, photophobia, or phonophobia. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician documents menstrual migraine and the condition is not intractable. It also fits when the note links migraine episodes to the menstrual period without describing uncontrolled, prolonged, or refractory attacks. Check documentation if the record is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use it for migraine without a menstrual association or for intractable migraine. If the chart only says headache, or the menstrual relationship is not documented, this code is not supported.
Coding tip
Look for explicit wording such as “menstrual migraine” and “not intractable” in the assessment or problem list before assigning G43.82.
