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.
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.

Exception: Guidelines indicate that you may report a sign or symptom in addition to a related definitive diagnosis in cases where the sign or symptom isn’t routinely associated with the diagnosis.
