  • Use I95.9 for Hypotension, unspecified

Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to I95: its own notes plus those printed at Chapter 9. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

Excludes1

  • cardiovascular collapse (R57.9)
  • maternal hypotension syndrome (O26.5-)
  • nonspecific low blood pressure reading NOS (R03.1)

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.

From Chapter 9 (I00-I99) Diseases of the circulatory system applies to 1,433 codes
  • certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
  • certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)

Questions About I95Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for hypotension?

I95 is the ICD-10-CM category for hypotension, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is I95 (Hypotension) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for hypotension, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for hypotension need a more specific code from this category, such as I95.0, I95.1, and I95.2.

Can I95 be reported with R57.9?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on I95 lists "cardiovascular collapse (R57.9)". 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).
