ICD-10 code I95. 9 for Hypotension, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
I95. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
ICD-10-CM Code for Postprocedural hypotension I95. 81.
In ICD-10-AM/ACHI/ACS Tenth Edition, neurogenic orthostatic hypotension is classified to I95. 12 Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. G90.
ICD-10-CM Code for Hypotension I95.
Condition: Orthostasis or orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a decrease in blood pressure that happens soon after standing or sitting up. When a person stands up, gravity causes blood to pool in the legs. This reduces blood pressure since less blood is circulating back to the heart to pump.
While intraoperative hypotension (IOH) describes a low blood pressure during surgery, postoperative hypotension (POH) refers to hypotension occurring on the remaining day of surgery (after the emergence from anesthesia) and during the first days after surgery.
Orthostatic hypotension — also called postural hypotension — is a form of low blood pressure that happens when standing after sitting or lying down. Orthostatic hypotension can cause dizziness or lightheadedness and possibly fainting.
Conclusions: Transient hypotension is common in the ICU and is associated with increased acute mortality and decreased functional status in patients with head injury. The impact of this secondary insult is greatest in patients with less severe primary injury.
Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) is a subtype of orthostatic hypotension in which patients have impaired regulation of standing blood pressure due to autonomic dysfunction. Several primary and secondary causes of this disease exist. Patients may present with an array of symptoms making diagnosis difficult.

Thus orthostatic hypotension, a drop in blood pressure on standing, will be accompanied by syncope or dizziness, the most striking of the symptoms of dysautonomia. The baroreceptor/cardioaccelerator-pressor reflex is the autonomic mechanism responsible for this aspect of blood pressure control.
The likely mechanisms do not appear to be an altered cardiac output or active muscle vasodilation response to exercise, but rather, a lack of and/or a blunted increase in sympathetic nerve activity during exercise and/or excessive vasodilation in the splanchnic circulation.
Exercise-induced hypotension in autonomic disorders . The autonomic nervous system closely integrates a range of vital processes, including, cardiovascular function. Physical activity, or exercise, requires a range of integrated autonomic and cardiovascular adjustments in order to maintain homeostasis. Pathological conditions that result in ...
Asthma exacerbation: – It is nothing but an acute increase of symptoms in a person with asthma. This can be coded only with the Physician diagnosis. Status asthmatics : – Another term for this is severe asthma exacerbation. It is considered as severe as this may lead to even respiratory failure due to hypoxemia.
Here is the tricky part comes in coding asthma. At times we do not need to code asthma, instead assign another more specified respiratory condition or in other words use a combination code with another condition.
