Chest Pain ICD 10 general guidelines: 1 Documentation is the key to accurate coding of the chest pain. If the chest pain is due to any underlying condition and there is documentation of a confirmed diagnosis, the code for chest pain is not to be coded separately. 2 The alphabetic index needs to be referred first followed by the tabular list for accurate coding. 3 The default ICD 10 code for chest pain is R07.9 (Chest pain, unspecified). Any additional document specifying the chest pain will require a more accurate code from the following list.

Chest pain is a common complaint in the urgent care setting, and is not always related to an acute heart condition. The characteristics of chest pain depend on the cause, and may be described as ischemic, nonischemic, noncardiac gastroesphageal, pulmonary, or musculoskeletal.#N#Ischemic cardiac diagnoses includes angina, myocardial infarction, aortic stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and coronary vasospasm. Nonischemic cardiac causes of chest pain include pericarditits, aortic dissection, and mitral valve prolapse.#N#Non-cardiac causes may include gastroesophageal, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, and dermatologic events. Gastroesophageal causes may include reflux esophagitis, esophageal spasm, esophageal perforation, gastritis and peptic ulcer disease, and achalasia. Pulmonary causes may include pneumothorax, pulmonary embolism, pleuritis, neoplasm, and bronchitis. Musculoskeletal causes may include costochondritis, rib fracture, compression fracture. One dermatologic cause is herpes zoster (shingles).#N#Anxiety or panic attacks often bring on bouts of chest pain, accompanied by intense fear, rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing (hyperventilation), profuse sweating, and shortness of breath.#N#The official coding guidelines that apply to outpatient coding do not allow coding for an “uncertain” diagnosis. Instead, the patient’s symptoms and signs are acceptable for reporting purposes when the provider has not established (confirmed) a diagnosis.#N#To index chest pain in ICD-9-CM, start with main term pain, sub-term chest, followed byessential modifiers describing the type of chest pain. Essential modifiers must be documented as indicated to code the specific type of chest pain.
Do not code chest pain if it is with an associated condition and chest pain is integral to that condition such as chest pain and angina.
NEC "Not elsewhere classifiable" - This abbreviation in the Alphabetic Index represents "other specified". When a specific code is not available for a condition, the Alphabetic Index directs the coder to the "other specified” code in the Tabular List.
Inclusion terms - List of terms is included under some codes. These terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
There can be many other causes, including. Other heart problems, such as angina. Panic attacks. Digestive problems, such as heartburn or esophagus disorders. Sore muscles. Lung diseases, such as pneumonia, pleurisy, or pulmonary embolism. Costochondritis - an inflammation of joints in your chest.
See Also - A "see also" instruction following a main term in the Alphabetic Index instructs that there is another main term that may also be referenced that may provide additional Alphabetic Index entries that may be useful. It is not necessary to follow the "see also" note when the original main term provides the necessary code.
