The ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting provide extensive notes and instruction for coding pain (category G89). Review these guidelines in full. The following summary identifies key points.#N#When seeking a pain diagnosis, identify as precisely as possible the pain’s location and/or source. If pain is the primary symptom and you know the location, the Alphabetic Index generally will provide all the information you need.#N#Only report pain diagnosis codes from the G89 category as the primary diagnosis when: 1 The acute or chronic pain and neoplasm pain provide more detail when used with codes from other categories; or 2 The reason for the service is for pain control or pain management.
Chronic pain may last for months or years, and may persist even after the underlying injury has healed or the underlying condition has been treated. There is no specific timeframe identifying when you can define the pain as chronic. Determine the code assignment based on provider documentation.
