You must code flank pain as unspecified abdominal pain (R10.9) unless the physician provides additional information about the location of the pain, such as whether it is in the upper or lower portion of the abdomen. Pelvic pain is classified to code R10.2 (Pelvic and perineal pain).

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, 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.

Pain that does not point to a specific body system is classified in the Symptoms and Signs chapter. For example, abdominal pain is classified to category R10. Certain specific types of pain are classified to category G89 (Pain, not elsewhere classified) in the Nervous System chapter.
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.
