ICD-10 Code G43.829 – Menstrual migraine, not intractable, without status migrainosus (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G43.829 – Menstrual migraine, not intractable, without status migrainosus
What it is
This code identifies migraine attacks linked to the menstrual cycle that are not described as intractable and do not meet status migrainosus criteria. Use it when the record clearly connects the migraine pattern to menstruation.
Clinical signs
Typical migraine features may include unilateral throbbing pain, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or sound. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the menstrual timing and the absence of status migrainosus.
When to use this code
Use G43.829 when the provider documents menstrual migraine and specifies that it is not intractable. It also applies when the episode is not prolonged enough to qualify as status migrainosus. Make sure the chart links attacks to the menstrual period.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for migraine without menstrual association, intractable migraine, or status migrainosus. Check documentation if the note does not clearly distinguish these conditions.
Coding tip
Confirm both menstrual association and the “not intractable” and “without status migrainosus” descriptors before assigning G43.829.
