ICD-10 Code I95.2 – Hypotension due to drugs (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I95.2 – Hypotension due to drugs
What it is
I95.2 identifies low blood pressure caused by a medication or drug effect. Use it when the documentation links hypotension directly to a prescribed or taken substance.
Clinical signs
Clinical features may include dizziness, lightheadedness, weakness, or fainting with documented hypotension. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use I95.2 when the provider states the hypotension is due to a drug, medication, or similar agent. It may apply when the adverse effect is documented and the low blood pressure is the condition being addressed. If the record does not clearly connect the drug to the hypotension, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for hypotension that is not linked to a drug or for shock states. Do not assume causation from medication use alone.
Coding tip
Code the adverse effect only when the chart explicitly states the medication caused the hypotension.
