Postoperative pain not associated with a specific postoperative complication is reported with a code from Category G89, Pain not elsewhere classified, in Chapter 6, Diseases of the Nervous System and Sense Organs. There are four codes related to postoperative pain, including:
Postoperative pain typically is considered a normal part of the recovery process following most forms of surgery. Such pain often can be controlled using typical measures such as pre-operative, non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory medications; local anesthetics injected into the operative wound prior to suturing; postoperative analgesics;
Determining whether to report postoperative pain as an additional diagnosis is dependent on the documentation, which, again, must indicate that the pain is not normal or routine for the procedure if an additional code is used. If the documentation supports a diagnosis of non-routine, severe or excessive pain following a procedure, it then also must be determined whether the postoperative pain is occurring due to a complication of the procedure – which also must be documented clearly. Only then can the correct codes be assigned.
Only when postoperative pain is documented to present beyond what is routine and expected for the relevant surgical procedure is it a reportable diagnosis. Postoperative pain that is not considered routine or expected further is classified by whether the pain is associated with a specific, documented postoperative complication.
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.
The orthopedic specialist places a splint and wants to see the patient in two weeks. After one week, the patient is complaining of severe pain.
Both the treating physician and the consulting physician have provided active care, and both visits are initial encounters. Neither prescribing medicine, nor referral to a physical therapist, is considered active care for fracture coding.
Fracture coding can be a challenge for both physicians and coders, but its effect on hierarchical condition code (HCC) funding in Medicare Advantage, as well as health plan Star ratings, leaves little room for speculation. Knowing how ICD-10 delineates initial and subsequent visits is key.
