2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G25.7 – Other and unspecified drug induced movement disorders

What it is

Use this code for a movement disorder caused by a medication or other drug when the specific type is not named or does not fit another category. It covers drug-related abnormal movements rather than a primary neurologic disorder.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly reported findings include tremor, involuntary jerking, restlessness, rigidity, or other abnormal movements that begin after drug exposure.

When to use this code

Use G25.7 when the provider documents that a drug is causing the movement disorder and no more specific code is available. It also applies when the record says “drug induced movement disorder” or similar wording without further detail. Check documentation if the agent or exact movement type is unclear.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for movement disorders that are not drug related, or when a more specific diagnosis is documented. If the chart identifies a different neurologic condition, code that condition instead.

Coding tip

Link the movement disorder to the offending drug in the documentation whenever possible, and verify whether a more specific code is supported.
