ICD-10 Code for Tremor
Also indexed as (s)
The ICD-10-CM code for tremor is R25.1 — Tremor, unspecified. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for tremor with no further qualifier, valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).
R25.1 is billable but unspecified. If the documentation names a type, site or cause, one of the more specific codes below is likely expected.
Which tremor code should you use?
