ICD-9-CM Volume 2 Index entries containing back-references to 724.2: Basics of Back pain ICD 10 Coding.We already know that there is a big difference between ICD 9 and ICD 10 codes. Since the time I have started using ICD 10 codes, I have seen many challenges in diagnosis coding. For example, the concept of Excludes 1 and Excludes 2, the initial subsequent encounter and sequela codes for injuries. There are many new guidelines for coding ICD 10 codes. You will also get the new Status Z codes which have replaced the V codes of ICD 9. These are the real reason for the number of increase in the ICD 10 codes. For pregnancy complication ICD 10 codes, you will get a new category of codes (Z3A) for coding weeks of gestation. So, be prepared with such topics before using ICD 10 codes. Today, we will learn the Back pain ICD 10 Coding guidelines. Earlier in ICD 9 we use to use only one code for coding back pain, 724.5 (backache). But, now with the implementation of the new ICD 10 codes, you can see that we have more specific ICD 10 code for back pain. Also, we have separate ICD 10 code for lumbar back pain and thoracic back pain. If you are coding for neck pain or cervical pain, we have separate ICD10 code (M54.2) for that as well.

If you are coding any pain specific to spinal region it will lead to M54 category. Below you can see a lists of ICD10 codes related to back pain. M54 Dorsalgia M54.0Panniculitis affecting regions of neck and back panniculitis NOS (M79.3) relapsing [Weber-Christian] panniculitis (M35.6) M54.00 Panniculitis affecting regions of neck and back, site unspecified M54.01 Panniculitis affecting regions of neck and back, occipito-atlanto-axial region M54.02 Panniculitis affecting regions of neck and back, cervical region M54.03 Panniculitis affecting regions of neck and back, cervicothoracic region M54.04 Panniculitis affecting regions of neck and back, thoracic region M54.05 Panniculitis affecting regions of neck and back, thoracolumbar region M54.06 Panniculitis affecting regions of neck and back, lumbar region M54.07 Panniculitis affecting regions of neck and back, lumbosacral region M54.08 Panniculitis affecting regions of neck and back, sacral and sacrococcygeal region M54.09 Panniculitis affecting regions, neck and back, multiple sites in spine Read also: ICD 10 coding tips for COPD When not to code diagnosis code for Back/Lumbar radiculopathy painRadiculopathy or radiculitis includes the pain of that region. Hence, when we are reporting any radiculopathy ICD 10 code we should not report any ICD 10 code for back pain. For example, if we are coding lumbar radiculopathy (M54.16), then you should not assign M54.50 (Lumbar back pain) along with M54.16.

CPT codes supporting ICD 10 code for Back/Lumbar radiculopathy painBack pain generally caused for spinal spondylosis, degeneration of intervertebral disc or disc displacement. To diagnosis the exact cause of back pain, mainly MRI or CT exam of lumbar, cervical or thoracic spine is performed. Some to the surgical procedures like spinal injection, laminotomy etc, can also help in treated the spinal back pain completely. What is the ICD2023 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M54. 4: Lumbago with sciatica.
