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).
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.
Many imaging studies are ordered because the patient is experiencing pain. Once ICD-10 is implemented on October 1 of next year, radiology coders will need to be ready to assign the appropriate codes for these studies. In this article we’ll give you a run-down of how pain is classified in ICD-10, as well as the rules for sequencing the pain codes.
Abdominal tenderness (R10.81-): Tenderness is abnormal sensitivity to touch. While pain is a symptom that the patient reports, tenderness is a reaction that the physician observes while examining the patient’s abdomen.
