Orthostatic hypotension due to drugs

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above I95.2

These are not written on I95.2, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing I95.2 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on I95 — Hypotension

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

Other codes that can never be billed with I95.2

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at I95.2. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading I95.2 alone.

I95.1Orthostatic hypotension
R03.1Nonspecific low blood-pressure reading

Risk adjustment

I95.2 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Medicare coverage

I95.2 is named in 5 Medicare coverage policies — 5 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
