ICD-10 Code F95.8 – Other tic disorders (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F95.8 – Other tic disorders
What it is
F95.8 identifies tic disorders that do not fit the more specific ICD-10 categories. Use it for recurrent, sudden, nonrhythmic movements or vocalizations when the record supports a tic disorder but not a named subtype.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical tics are brief, repetitive, and may be motor or vocal, sometimes with a premonitory urge and temporary suppressibility.
When to use this code
Use F95.8 when the clinician documents an other specified tic disorder or describes tic symptoms that clearly represent a tic disorder but do not match a more specific code. It is appropriate when the chart identifies the condition as tic-related and the exact subtype is not documented. Check documentation if the type is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for Tourette syndrome, chronic motor or vocal tic disorder, or transient tic disorder when those diagnoses are documented. Also avoid it when the record only notes involuntary movements without confirming a tic disorder.
Coding tip
Code the most specific tic diagnosis documented, and use F95.8 only when the provider clearly indicates an unspecified other tic disorder.
