Possible Chronic Pain Primary Diagnosis Codes G89.21 Chronic pain due to trauma G89.28 Other chronic postprocedural pain G89.29 Other chronic pain G89.4 Chronic pain syndrome NOTE: To utilize these chronic pain diagnosis codes, the exact nature of pain should be specifically documented in the patient medical records; such as chronic to utilize ICD-10 code G.89.29 or the diagnosis term chronic pain syndrome to utilize ICD-10 code G89.4. If not documented, other symptom diagnosis codes may be utilized. Possible Chronic Pain Secondary Diagnosis Codes B02.22 Postherpetic trigeminal neuralgia B02.29 Other postherpetic nervous system involvement G03.9 Meningitis, unspecified G90.511 Complex regional pain syndrome I of right upper limb G90.512 Complex regional pain syndrome I of left upper limb G90.513 Complex regional pain syndrome I of upper limb, bilateral G90.521 Complex regional pain syndrome I of right lower limb G90.522 Complex regional pain syndrome I of left lower limb G90.523 Complex regional pain syndrome I of lower limb, bilateral G90.529 Complex regional pain syndrome I of unspecified lower limb G90.59 Complex regional pain syndrome I of other specified site G89.0 Central pain syndrome G96.12 Meningeal adhesions, spinal, cerebral G54.0 Brachial plexus disorders
Possible Chronic Pain Secondary Diagnosis Codes G54.1 Lumbosacral plexus disorders G54.6 Phantom Limb Syndrome; with pain G54.8 Other nerve root and plexus disorders G54.4 Lumbosacral root disorders, not elsewhere classified G56.40 Causalgia of upper limb, unspecified G56.41 Causalgia of right upper limb G56.42 Causalgia of left upper limb G56.80 Other specified mononeuropathies of unspecified upper limb G56.90 Unspecified mononeuropathies of unspecified upper limb G56.91 Unspecified mononeuropathies of right upper limb G56.92 Unspecified mononeuropathies of left upper limb G57.70 Causalgia of lower limb, unspecified G57.71 Causalgia of right lower limb G57.72 Causalgia of left lower limb G57.91 Unspecified mononeuropathies of right lower limb G57.92 Unspecified mononeuropathies of left lower limb I70.229 Atherosclerosis of native arteries of extremities with rest pain, unspecified extremity M51.16 Intervertebral disc disorders with radiculopathy, lumbar region M51.17 Intervertebral disc disorders with radiculopathy, lumbosacral region M96.1 Postlaminectomy syndrome, not elsewhere classified M54.12 Radiculopathy, cervical region M54.13 Radiculopathy, cervicothoracic region M54.14 Radiculopathy, thoracic region M54.15 Radiculopathy, thoracolumbar region M54.16 Radiculopathy, lumbar region M54.17 Radiculopathy, lumbosacral region Note: Chronic Pain Secondary Diagnosis Codes should not be sequenced as primary diagnosis codes in ICD-10. In these circumstances, the underlying condition would be typically used as the principal diagnosis.
Attention to Device Z45.42 Encounter for adjustment and management of neuropacemaker (brain) (peripheral nerve) (spinal cord) Note: ICD-10 code Z45.42 may be used as a primary diagnosis when the patient is seen for a routine device maintenance, such as perdioc device checks and programming, as well as rough device replacement. A secondary ICD-10 diagnosiscode is typicalls used to identify the underlying condition. Routine sequencing guidelines apply. Encounters Description of final digits (A, D, S) for ICD-10 coding. A: Initial encounter D: Subsequent encounter S: Sequela A: Initial encounters or the patient is receiving active treatment for the injury Surgical treatment Emergency department encounter Evaluation and treatment by a new physician S: Sequela, is used for complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of an injury or an illness, such as chronic pain after an injury. The chronic pain is a sequela of the injury. The chronic pain is reported and sequenced first followed by the appropriate code describing the initial illness or injury with S as the final digit. Example: G89.4 (Chronic pain syndrome) + S24.2XXS (Injury of nerve root of thoracic spine, sequela encounter) D: Subsequent encounter or routine care for the injury during the healing or recovery phase Removal of external of internal fixation device Medication adjustment Aftercare and follow-up visits following injury treatment Encounters S14.101?
