Abdominal pain, generalized; Adult colic; Colic in adult; generalized abdominal pain associated with acute abdomen (R10.0) ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code
In healthcare, diagnosis codes are used as a tool to group and identify diseases, disorders, symptoms, poisonings, adverse effects of drugs & chemicals, injuries and other reasons for patient encounters. Diagnostic coding is the translation of written descriptions of diseases, illnesses and injuries into codes from a particular classification.
Some common symptoms of celiac disease can include:
Bentyl is an anticholinergic drug. This means it blocks the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine binds to receptors on the muscles that surround your gut and signals for them to contract. By reducing the action of this neurotransmitter, Bentyl helps the muscles in your gut relax.

Functional abdominal pain, also known as intractable abdominal pain, is persistent stomach pain that does not resolve with usual therapeutic treatment. The pain may be constant or may come and go.
ICD-9 code 789.0 for Abdominal pain is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range -SYMPTOMS (780-789).
Here are all the ICD-10 codes for different forms of abdominal pain. Two quick qualifiers:
Since the codes for abdominal pain describe symptoms and not specific diagnoses, they are mostly used when a conclusive diagnosis has not yet been determined. These codes may also be used when the abdominal pain symptom occurs alongside a diagnosis that is not typically associated with it, but the code for the main diagnosis should always be recorded first.
ICD-10 codes refer to the codes from the 10th Revision of this classification system . These codes consist of three to seven characters (both letters and numbers).
All codes begin with R10, the general code for abdominal and pelvic pain, and then up to three numbers can be added to that code for a more specific diagnosis.
ICD-10 officially replaced ICD-9 in the US in October of 2015. This was a response to the need for doctors to record more specific and accurate diagnoses in up-to-date terms. There are five times more ICD-10 codes than there were ICD-9 codes!
Atonic constipation. Constipation. Constipation due to neurogenic bowel. Constipation due to spasm of colon. Constipation in pregnancy. Constipation, atonic.

There are over 30 different codes falling under the R10 category of the ICD-10-CM manual, corresponding to the different types of abdominal pains including:
The abdomen is the area bounded by the diaphragm and lower ribs, falling above the pelvic bone. While abdominal pain can be caused by the inflammation of the tissues found in the abdominal wall, the pain typically originates due to discomfort caused by the organs in the abdominal cavity. These organs include the stomach, small intestine, colon, liver, gallbladder, spleen, and pancreas.

When documenting a diagnosis of abdominal pain by physicians, it is important to not only identify the pain location but also the pain type. Oftentimes, medical coders and physicians are stumped when coding for abdominal pain ICD 10. Identifying the location, as well as the pain type or tenderness is imperative for accurately coding and documenting cases for abdominal pains.
Also known as bellyache or stomachache, abdominal pain is usually felt in the area just below the ribs and above the groin and pelvis, and can range from a mild ache to more severe, disabling pain.
ICD serves as a foundation to identify clinical trends and statistics globally. Diseases, injuries, disorders, and all health conditions are listed comprehensively and organized into standard groupings allowing health care providers from around the world to compare and share information using the ICD codes.
ICD-10 (short for International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition) is a clinical documentation and cataloging system owned by the World Health organization which consists of thousands of codes, where each code represents critical information about the different diseases, findings, causes of injuries, symptoms, possible treatments, and epidemiology, playing a vital role in enabling advancements in clinical treatment and medication.
