F95 vs R25

F95 (Tic disorder) compared with R25 (Abnormal involuntary movements), from the official CMS tabular data. Do not report these codes together: the official tabular list marks them Excludes1.

Can these codes be reported together?

No — do not report together. R25 carries an Excludes1 note covering F95: “tic disorders (F95.-)”

Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
