ICD-10 Code I95 – Hypotension (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I95 – Hypotension
What it is
I95 identifies hypotension, meaning abnormally low blood pressure documented by the clinician. Use it when the record states hypotension as a diagnosis or active problem, not merely a temporary reading.
Clinical signs
Clinical features may include dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, weakness, or poor perfusion. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation, and confirm whether the provider links symptoms to hypotension.
When to use this code
Use I95 when the provider documents hypotension as the reason for evaluation, monitoring, or treatment. It also applies when hypotension is a confirmed condition in the assessment, problem list, or discharge diagnosis. If the low blood pressure is only a transient finding, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use I95 for shock, syncope, or dehydration unless hypotension is separately documented. Also avoid it when the chart only reports a low blood pressure reading without a diagnosis.
Coding tip
Confirm that hypotension is explicitly diagnosed and not just a vital-sign observation.
