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).
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.

The location and the type also need to be specifically documented and to make things easier, it is also important that the terminologies used to document the location and type matches the descriptions in the ICD-10-CM manual.
