G25.2 — Other specified forms of tremor
Is G25.2 billable?
Yes, but G25.2 is an unspecified code. G25.2 is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, G25.2 is an unspecified or catch-all code. Payers apply additional scrutiny to unspecified codes and many deny them when the medical record supports a more specific option, so check the documentation before selecting G25.2 — the more specific alternatives are listed below.
