ICD Code G25.0

ICD code G25.0 is essential tremor, a neurological disorder that causes involuntary and rhythmic shaking, most commonly affecting the hands.

1. Presence of involuntary, rhythmic, oscillatory movements (tremor) primarily affecting the hands and forearms, but may also involve the head, voice, or other body parts

2. Tremor is most apparent during voluntary movements (action or postural tremor), such as writing, eating, or holding objects

3. Absence of other neurological signs such as rigidity, bradykinesia, dystonia, or cerebellar dysfunction

4. No evidence of secondary causes such as medication side effects, metabolic disorders, or withdrawal states

5. Family history of similar tremor may be present but is not required

6. Onset typically insidious and progression is gradual over time

7. Tremor may improve temporarily with small amounts of alcohol

8. Symptoms cause functional impairment or social embarrassment

Relevant CPT codes that may be used to treat ICD code G25.0 include:

- 64642: Chemodenervation of one extremity; 1-4 muscle(s)

- 64643: Chemodenervation of one extremity; each additional extremity, 1-4 muscle(s)

- 64644: Chemodenervation of one extremity; 5 or more muscles

- 64645: Chemodenervation of one extremity; each additional extremity, 5 or more muscles

- 95970: Electronic analysis of implanted neurostimulator pulse generator system (e.g., deep brain stimulator)

- 95971: Electronic analysis of implanted neurostimulator pulse generator system; simple or complex brain neurostimulator

- 61885: Insertion or replacement of cranial neurostimulator pulse generator or receiver, direct or inductive coupling

- 61886: Revision or removal of cranial neurostimulator pulse generator or receiver

- 61720: Stereotactic implantation of depth electrodes into the cerebrum for treatment purposes

- 61781: Stereotactic computer-assisted (navigational) procedure for the brain

These CPT codes are commonly associated with the management and treatment of G25.0.
