The ICD-10-CM Index indicates that pain NOS is reported with code R52 (Pain, unspecified). However, reimbursement for this vague code is likely to be problematic, so try to obtain a more specific diagnosis whenever possible. Abdominal Pain ICD-10-CM contains over 30 different codes in category R10 for various types of abdominal and pelvic pain.

ICD-10-CM contains codes for the following types of chest pain: 1 Chest pain on breathing (R07.1): This type of pain can be a sign of pulmonary embolism. 2 Precordial pain (R07.2): This is pain in the precordium, which includes the lower chest and epigastric area. 3 Pleurodynia (R07.81): Spasms of pain in the intercostal muscles, which can be a sign of pleurisy (inflammationof the pleural membranes). 4 Intercostal pain (R07.82): This is pain originating in the intercostal nerves, which run between pairs of adjacent ribs. 5 Other chest pain (R07.89): Includes chest wall pain as well as chest pain described as atypical, musculoskeletal, or non-cardiac.
In addition to the codes for pain in the various parts of the abdomen, there are codes for: Acute abdomen (R10.0): This is sudden, severe abdominal pain, often accompanied by rigidity of the abdomen.
It is associated with contractions of smooth muscles, like those in the intestine or the ureter. The flank is the side of the patient’s torso below the ribs. Flank pain can be a sign of kidney stones. In the ICD-10-CM Index, the entry for “Pain, flank” shows a note to “see Pain, abdominal.”.
The ICD-10-CM Index refers you to the code for angina (I20.9) when the patient’s chest pain is described as “ischemic.” However, other types of chest pain are reported with codes from category R07 (Pain in throat and chest). There is an exception for post-thoracotomy pain, which we’ll discuss later.
For example, you can assign a G89 code to indicate that the pain is acute or chronic. You should assign the site-specific pain code first unless the purpose of the encounter is pain management, in which case the G89 code is first. For example, a patient is referred for ankle x-rays for chronic right ankle pain.
Category G89 contains codes for acute (G89.11) and chronic (G89.21) pain due to trauma. You should not assign these codes if a cause for the pain (i.e., a specific injury) has been identified, except in the unlikely event that the purpose of the encounter is pain management.
Category G89 contains four codes for acute and chronic post-thoracotomy pain (G89.12, G89.22) and other postprocedural pain (G89.18, G89.28). The ICD-10-CM guidelines state that you should not code “routine or expected postoperative pain immediately after surgery.” Additionally, in order to assign these codes, the physician must document that the patient’s pain is a complication of the surgery.
For example, when a patient presents with fever, sore throat, headache, body aches, and chilling due to influenza Type A virus, it is relatively easy to determine that the only code that should be reported is the code for influenza (J11.1) , because all of the symptoms documented are routinely associated with the flu. In the case of a 90-year-old patient with essential tremor (G25.0) and unsteadiness on feet (R26.81), both conditions would be reported even though essential tremor sometimes is associated with gait changes, such as unsteadiness when walking. However, because the unsteadiness on feet is not commonly or routinely associated with essential tremor, it actually may be a symptom or sign of another medical condition, and so it should be reported additionally.

Category O28, Abnormal findings on antenatal screening of mother, contains codes for the general type of abnormal finding . Laboratory abnormal findings include hematological (O28.0), biochemical (O28.1), and cytological (O28.2) findings. Radiological abnormal findings include ultrasonic (O28.3) and other radiological studies (O28.4). There is also a code for abnormal chromosomal and genetic findings (O28.5), as well as codes for other abnormal findings (O28.8) and unspecified abnormal findings (O28.9). During pregnancy, abnormal findings would be reported with codes in Category O28 instead of codes from Chapter 18.
Conditions such as neonatal jaundice NOS (P59.9), transient neonatal neutropenia (P61.5), and vomiting of newborn (P92.0-) are examples of some of the symptoms, signs, and abnormal findings classified in Chapter 16 that should be reported instead of codes from Chapter 18.
This article covers only two factors to be considered when reporting codes from Chapter 18 – whether or not the signs and symptoms routinely are associated with a documented definitive diagnosis, and whether the sign or symptom should be reported with a code from one of the body system chapters. However, prior to assigning codes for symptoms, signs, and abnormal findings, all guidelines should be reviewed. Guidelines related to symptoms, signs and abnormal findings are found in a number of sections, including the General Coding Guidelines (Section I.B.4,5,and 6), the Chapter-Specific Guidelines (Section I.C.18), Selection of Principal Diagnosis (Section II.A), Reporting Additional Diagnosis (Section III.B), and Diagnostic Coding and Reporting Guidelines for Outpatient Services (Section IV.D and P). Taking time to review the guidelines, along with the notes at the beginning of Chapter 18 and coding instructions listed at the category, subcategory, and code levels, should ensure that the correct sign, symptom, or abnormal finding code is assigned.
