ICD-10-CM Codes›I00–I99›I95-I99›I95
- Billable — Valid for Submission
- Not Chronic
I95.2 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for hypotension due to drugs. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2026 (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026). Coders also document this condition as drug-induced hypotension. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Drug induced or toxic related condition and Hypotension.

These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
The “use additional code” indicates that a secondary code could be used to further specify the patient’s condition. This note is not mandatory and is only used if enough information is available to assign an additional code.

Clinical InformationClinical
Hypotension
abnormally low blood pressure that can result in inadequate blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. common symptom is dizziness but greater negative impacts on the body occur when there is prolonged depravation of oxygen and nutrients.Hypotension, Controlled
procedure in which arterial blood pressure is intentionally reduced in order to control blood loss during surgery. this procedure is performed either pharmacologically or by pre-surgical removal of blood.Hypotension, Orthostatic
a significant drop in blood pressure after assuming a standing position. orthostatic hypotension is a finding, and defined as a 20-mm hg decrease in systolic pressure or a 10-mm hg decrease in diastolic pressure 3 minutes after the person has risen from supine to standing. symptoms generally include dizziness, blurred vision, and syncope.Intracranial Hypotension
reduction of cerebrospinal fluid pressure characterized clinically by orthostatic headache and occasionally by an abducens nerve palsy; hearing loss; nausea; neck stiffness, and other symptoms. this condition may be spontaneous or secondary to cerebrospinal fluid leak; spinal puncture; neurosurgical procedures; dehydration; uremia; trauma (see also craniocerebral trauma); and other processes. chronic hypotension may be associated with subdural hematomas (see hematoma, subdural) or hygromas. (from semin neurol 1996 mar;16(1):5-10; adams et al., principles of neurology, 6th ed, pp637-8)Ocular Hypotension
abnormally low intraocular pressure often related to chronic inflammation (uveitis).Post-Exercise Hypotension
transient reduction in blood pressure levels immediately after exercises that lasts 2-12 hours. the reduction varies but is typically 5-20 mm hg when compared to pre-exercise levels. it exists both in normotensive and hypertensive individuals and may play a role in excercise related physiologic adaptation.Shy-Drager Syndrome
a progressive neurodegenerative condition of the central and autonomic nervous systems characterized by atrophy of the preganglionic lateral horn neurons of the thoracic spinal cord. this disease is generally considered a clinical variant of multiple system atrophy. affected individuals present in the fifth or sixth decade with orthostasis and bladder dysfunction; and later develop fecal incontinence; anhidrosis; ataxia; impotence; and alterations of tone suggestive of basal ganglia dysfunction. (from adams et al., principles of neurology, 6th ed, p536)Adaptation, Physiological
the non-genetic biological changes of an organism in response to challenges in its environment.
Patient EducationClinical
Low Blood Pressure
You've probably heard that high blood pressure is a problem. Sometimes blood pressure that is too low can also cause problems.

Questions About I95.2Overview
Is I95.2 (Hypotension) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report hypotension due to drugs on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.
What is the ICD-9 equivalent of I95.2?
Under the General Equivalence Mappings, hypotension due to drugs converts to ICD-9-CM 458.29 (iatrogenc hypotnsion NEC). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.
Footnotes
[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
