R26: Abnormalities of gait and mobility

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

R26 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for abnormalities of gait and mobility. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1: never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

  • ataxia NOS (R27.0)
  • hereditary ataxia (G11.-)
  • locomotor (syphilitic) ataxia (A52.11)
  • immobility syndrome (paraplegic) (M62.3)

Other codes that can never be billed with R26

Their own Excludes1 notes name this code, so the conflict is not listed above.

  • F82Specific developmental disorder of motor function
  • R27Other lack of coordination
