ICD-10 Code I95.1 – Orthostatic hypotension (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I95.1 – Orthostatic hypotension
What it is
Orthostatic hypotension is a drop in blood pressure that occurs when you stand up. It can cause reduced blood flow to the brain and other organs.
Clinical signs
Typical features include dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision, weakness, or fainting after rising. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use I95.1 when the provider documents orthostatic hypotension as the diagnosis or a confirmed clinical finding. It may apply when symptoms are clearly linked to standing and the note identifies postural blood pressure changes. Check documentation if the record only mentions dizziness without a confirmed diagnosis.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for nonspecific syncope, general dizziness, or hypotension not described as orthostatic. If another cause is documented, code the documented condition instead.
Coding tip
Assign I95.1 only when the chart clearly supports a postural drop in blood pressure or a provider-documented diagnosis.
