Questions About I95.2Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for hypotension due to drugs?

The ICD-10-CM code for hypotension due to drugs is I95.2 (sometimes written as I952). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

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, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

What MS-DRG does I95.2 group to?

When hypotension due to drugs is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 312 (syncope and Collapse), which carries a relative weight of 0.8659. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Can I95.2 be reported with R57.9?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at I95, which applies to I95.2, 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).

Does I95.2 need an additional code?

When the condition applies, yes. The Use Additional Code note reads: code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5). The additional code is reported after I95.2.
