2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G25.89 – Other specified extrapyramidal and movement disorders

What it is

G25.89 is used for movement disorders affecting motor control that do not fit a more specific ICD-10 category. It is a catch-all code for documented extrapyramidal or movement problems with a clear diagnosis but no better code.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see involuntary movements, abnormal muscle tone, tremor, or other motor disturbances described by the clinician.

When to use this code

Use this code when the provider documents an extrapyramidal or movement disorder that is specified, but not named elsewhere in ICD-10-CM. It is appropriate when the record supports a distinct disorder and no more specific code applies. Check documentation if the diagnosis is vague or incomplete.

Do not use for

Do not use G25.89 for Parkinson disease, essential tremor, or drug-induced movement disorders when a more specific code is documented. Avoid it when the record only says “tremor” without a clearer diagnosis.

Coding tip

Code the exact documented movement disorder first, and use G25.89 only when no specific ICD-10-CM option fits.
