ICD-10 Code G47.6 – Sleep related movement disorders (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G47.6 – Sleep related movement disorders
What it is
G47.6 identifies sleep-related movement disorders, a group of conditions marked by repetitive movements that occur during sleep or at sleep onset. Use it when the documentation names this disorder rather than a different neurologic or sleep diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common descriptions include repetitive limb movements, uncomfortable urges to move, or movements that disrupt sleep continuity and may be reported by the patient or observed by a bed partner.
When to use this code
Use G47.6 when the provider documents a sleep-related movement disorder as the diagnosis and the record does not specify a more detailed subtype. It may also fit when the chart describes sleep-associated repetitive movements that are the primary reason for evaluation. Check documentation if another sleep disorder better explains the finding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for general insomnia, seizures, or daytime movement disorders without sleep involvement. If the record identifies a specific movement disorder subtype, code that diagnosis instead.
Coding tip
Code from the provider’s exact wording, and confirm whether the disorder is primary, secondary, or part of another sleep condition.
