Other specified forms of tremor
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.G25.2 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of other specified forms of tremor. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
The ICD code G252 is used to code Intention tremor
Intention tremor, also known as cerebellar tremor, is a dyskinetic disorder characterized by a broad, coarse, and low frequency (below 5 Hz) tremor. The amplitude of an intention tremor increases as an extremity approaches the endpoint of deliberate and visually guided movement (hence the name intention tremor). An intention tremor is usually perpendicular to the direction of movement. When experiencing an intention tremor, one often overshoots or undershoots their target, a condition known as dysmetria. Intention tremor is the result of dysfunction of the cerebellum, particularly on the same side as the tremor in the lateral zone, which controls visually guided movements. Depending on the location of cerebellar damage, these tremors can be either unilateral or bilateral.
