Any claim for a clinical diagnostic laboratory service must be submitted with an ICD -9 CM diagnosis code. Codes that describe symptoms and signs, as opposed to a diagnosis, should be provided for reporting purposes when a diagnosis has not been established by the physician. (Based on Coding Clinic for ICD-9-CM, Fourth Quarter 1995, page 43).

The fecal occult blood test (FOBT) is a lab test used to check stool samples for hidden (occult) blood. Occult blood in the stool may indicate colon cancer or polyps in the colon or rectum — though not all cancers or polyps bleed.
A positive result means that occult blood has been detected in your stool. It doesn't mean that you have colorectal cancer. If the results of your hemoccult test come back positive, then you'll need to have a colonoscopy to determine the source of the blood.
A fecal occult blood test checks stool samples for traces of blood that cannot be seen with the naked eye. This test is also called a stool guaiac or Hemoccult test. It is a simple chemical test of a stool sample that involves about five minutes of preparation time.
ICD-10 code R10. 9 for Unspecified abdominal pain is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
The flank is the side area of the torso below the ribs. To code for flank pain, start by looking at the ICD-10-CM index. Under the entry for “Pain, flank,” the ICD-10-CM index points you to “Pain, abdominal.” And that instruction opens up a lot of possibilities.
As a sign or symptom, pain is subject to the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for coding signs and symptoms. The general rule for physician coding is that you should use a code describing a symptom or sign “when a related definitive diagnosis has not been established (confirmed) by the provider,” the Official Guidelines state.
Some people may not have any symptoms until it is found by physician in physical examination. Common symptoms occur are palpitation, shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness and reduced ability to exercise.
Afib ICD 10 codes and guidelines can be found in chapter 9 of ICD-10-CM manual which is “diseases of the circulatory system”, code range I00 – I99
