ICD-10 Code I95.8 – Other hypotension (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I95.8 – Other hypotension
What it is
I95.8 identifies hypotension that is documented as “other” and does not fit a more specific hypotension category. Use it when the record clearly states this diagnosis and no narrower code applies.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Patients may have low blood pressure noted on exam, with possible dizziness, weakness, or fainting if the clinician describes symptomatic hypotension.
When to use this code
Use I95.8 when the provider documents other hypotension and does not specify orthostatic, medication-related, or another defined type. It is also appropriate when the chart supports hypotension but the exact subtype is not identified. Check documentation if the cause or type is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for a more specific hypotension diagnosis already documented, such as orthostatic hypotension. Also avoid it when hypotension is only a transient finding without a confirmed diagnosis.
Coding tip
Code the most specific hypotension type documented, and query for clarification if the note only says “low blood pressure.”
