ICD-10-CM Code R29.2
Abnormal reflex

BILLABLE
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

R29.2 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of abnormal reflex. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code R292 is used to code Hyperreflexia

Hyperreflexia (or hyper-reflexia) is defined as overactive or overresponsive reflexes. Examples of this can include twitching or spastic tendencies, which are indicative of upper motor neuron disease as well as the lessening or loss of control ordinarily exerted by higher brain centers of lower neural pathways (disinhibition). See Autonomic dysreflexia.
