Code M54. 5 is the diagnosis code used for Low Back Pain (LBP). This is sometimes referred to as lumbago.
Next to the entry for “Pain, abdominal,” there is the code R10.9 Unspecified abdominal pain. If “flank pain” is all you have to work with from the documentation, then R10.9 is the code to use. But if there is additional documentation that supports a more specific code under abdominal pain, you should choose that code instead. For instance, if further questioning helps the doctor determine the pain is in the upper right abdomen, you’ll use R10.11 Right upper quadrant pain.
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.
The ICD-10-CM Index indicates that pain NOS is reported with code R52 (Pain, unspecified). However, reimbursement for this vague code is likely to be problematic, so try to obtain a more specific diagnosis whenever possible.
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.
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.
Chest pain on breathing (R07.1): This type of pain can be a sign of pulmonary embolism.
Rebound tenderness, on the other hand, occurs when the examiner releases the pressure. It is a sign of peritonitis. Colic (R10.83): Colic is pain that comes in waves. It is associated with contractions of smooth muscles, like those in the intestine or the ureter.
Because this encounter is for pain control rather than to evaluate or treat the DDD, you should code the pain first. The primary diagnosis is G89.29 (Other chronic pain), and the secondary diagnosis is M51.14 (Intervertebral disc disorders with radiculopathy, thoracic region).
Review the entire medical record thoroughly especially physical examination to determine the correct anatomical site of pain. Do not code unspecified knee pain if there is any site specification mentioned in the record.
Knee pain is a symptom; hence follow ICD coding guideline of not coding signs and symptoms when there is a definitive diagnosis made.
Hoffa’s syndrome is not coded as it is mentioned as “possible”.
Neuroablative techniques in pain management consist of several surgical and non-surgical methods to denervate a nerve. The goal of denervation is to "shut off" the pain signals that are sent to the brain from the joints and nerves. An additional objective is to reduce the likelihood of, or to delay, any recurrence by selectively destroying pain fibers without causing excessive sensory loss, motor dysfunction or other complications.
Sacroiliac (SI) joint injections are performed by injecting a local anesthetic, with or without a steroid medication, into the SI joints. These injections may be given for diagnostic purposes to determine if the SI joint is the source of the low back pain or it may be performed to treat SI joint pain that has previously been detected/diagnosed. If the pain is relieved, the physician will know that the SI joint appears to be the source of pain. This may be followed up with therapeutic injections of anti-inflammatory (steroid) and/or local anesthetic medications to relieve pain for longer periods.
