2027 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G21.19Other drug induced secondary parkinsonism
ICD-10-CM Codes›G00–G99›G20-G26›G21
- Billable — Valid for Submission
- CC — Complication or Comorbidity
- Not Chronic
G21.19 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other drug induced secondary parkinsonism. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 56 through 57. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a complication or comorbidity (CC) and moves an inpatient stay to a higher severity level within its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 12 closely related codes. Coders also document this condition as manganese-induced parkinsonism. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Drug induced or toxic related condition and Other nervous system disorders (often hereditary or degenerative).
G21.19 no longer risk-adjusts for Medicare Advantage: it mapped to HCC 78 under the retired CMS-HCC V24 model through payment year 2025 but maps to no category in the live V28 model. It still risk-adjusts in the PACE (CMS-HCC V22) category 78, ESRD (V21) category 78, ESRD (V24) category 78, and RxHCC Part D (V08) category 161 for payment year 2027.

Excludes1
Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.
Excludes2
Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.

Clinical InformationClinical
Parkinson Disease, Secondary
conditions which feature clinical manifestations resembling primary parkinson disease that are caused by a known or suspected condition. examples include parkinsonism caused by vascular injury, drugs, trauma, toxin exposure, neoplasms, infections and degenerative or hereditary conditions. clinical features may include bradykinesia, rigidity, parkinsonian gait, and masked facies. in general, tremor is less prominent in secondary parkinsonism than in the primary form.

Drug Reactions
Most of the time, medicines make our lives better. They reduce aches and pains, fight infections, and control problems such as high blood pressure or diabetes. But medicines can also cause unwanted reactions, such as drug interactions, side effects, and allergies.

Questions About G21.19Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for other drug induced secondary parkinsonism?
The ICD-10-CM code for other drug induced secondary parkinsonism is G21.19 (sometimes written as G2119). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is G21.19 (Other drug-induced secondary parkinsonism) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report other drug induced secondary parkinsonism on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does G21.19 group to?
When other drug induced secondary parkinsonism is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 57, 56, with relative weights from 1.2835 to 2.2649 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Is G21.19 a CC or MCC?
CMS lists G21.19 as a CC (complication or comorbidity) for FY 2027. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, it moves the inpatient stay to a higher-weighted DRG within its severity family. It does not count when the principal diagnosis is one of the 12 closely related codes in its exclusion list.
Can G21.19 be reported with G10?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at G21, which applies to G21.19, lists "Huntington's disease (G10)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
Does G21.19 risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage payment?
Not for Medicare Advantage. G21.19 mapped to HCC 78 in the retired CMS-HCC V24 model, which last determined payment in 2025, but it maps to no category in the live V28 model; see all codes that no longer risk-adjust. It still risk-adjusts in the PACE (CMS-HCC V22) category 78 (Parkinsons and Huntingtons Diseases), ESRD (V21) category 78 (Parkinsons and Huntingtons Diseases), ESRD (V24) category 78 (Parkinsons and Huntingtons Diseases), and RxHCC Part D (V08) category 161 (Parkinson Disease).
