What is the R51 code?

Code R51 was expanded to separate out an orthostatic headache ( R51.0) from other headaches. An orthostatic headache, also called a positional headache, is a type of headache a patient experiences while standing (vertical position). It is relieved when the patient lies down (horizontal position) for a period of time (e.g., 20-30 minutes). This symptom code is used when there is not a more clear diagnosis of the cause of the headache (e.g., intracranial hypotension, migraine). If the headache cause remains unclear, use the unspecified code ( R51.9)

What is the 7 digit extender for cervical sprain?

In chiropractic terms, the 7 digit character extender “A” should be applied for all episodes of “active treatment” of that diagnosed injury (again, provided the ICD-10 code requires a seventh digit). In other words, if your diagnosis is a cervical sprain (S13.4XXA) you will use that “A” character for the first, second, third and twenty-third visit (if necessary)…so long as active care is still being rendered.

Can a chiropractor apply a S character extender?

While it is possible that there are residual or late effects of a musculoskeletal injury that painfully manifest themselves after active treatment is completed, such a diagnosis typically produces a “pre-existing” condition denial and therefore, chiropractors should apply the “S” character extender with caution.
