How is chronic pain diagnosed? Pain is considered to be chronic if it lasts or comes and goes (recurs) for more than three months. Pain is usually a symptom, so your healthcare provider needs to determine what's causing your pain, if possible.
What is the diagnosis code for fibromyalgia? According to ICD-9, it is 729.1, “Other disorders of soft tissues, Myalgia and myositis, unspecified.”
Documentation is the key to the correct code assignment when coding these conditions. Several of the codes are similar but vary slightly. Code 338.0 describes central pain syndrome; 338.4, Chronic pain syndrome; and 338.29, Other chronic pain. These conditions are different, and code assignments are based upon physician documentation.
Code 338.3 is used to classify pain related to, associated with, or due to a tumor or cancer whether primary or secondary. This code is used as the principal code when the admission or encounter is for pain control or pain management. In this case, the underlying neoplasm should be reported in addition. When the encounter is for management of the neoplasm and the pain is also documented, it is appropriate to assign code 338.3 as an additional diagnosis. For example, a patient who was admitted for insertion of a pump for control of pain due to liver metastasis from a history of breast cancer would be coded to 338.3, 197.7, and V10.3. In another example, a patient is seen because of lower back pain; the patient has prostate cancer, and a bone scan shows metastasis to bones. The encounter would be coded to 198.5, 185, and 338.3.
This encounter would be coded to 338.19 and 722.10.
For example, a patient diagnosed with chronic abdominal pain due to chronic cholelithiasis would be coded to 574.20, while a patient who is being treated with spinal cord stimulation because of chronic pain syndrome due to thoracic spondylosis with myelopathy would be coded to 338.4 and 721.41.
Category 338 should be used in conjunction with site-specific pain codes (including codes from chapter 16) if category 338 codes provide additional information about the pain, such as if it is acute or chronic. The sequencing of category 338 codes along with site-specific pain codes (including chapter 16 codes) depends on the circumstances of the encounter or admission and must follow these guidelines:
Chronic pain is classified to subcategory 338.2. There is no time frame defining when pain becomes chronic pain. The provider’s documentation should be used to guide the use of the code, not an interpretation by the coding professional.
New codes for generalized pain, central pain syndrome, and postoperative pain were approved for ICD-9-CM in FY 2007 and went into effect October 1, 2006. Previously codes for pain were found in the body system chapters and the symptom chapters. A new category was created in the nervous system chapter for some of these conditions, and the codes differentiate central pain syndrome, acute pain, and chronic pain.
A code also note instructs that 2 codes may be required to fully describe a condition but the sequencing of the two codes is discretionary, depending on the severity of the conditions and the reason for the encounter.
