Header — not billable

Pain, not elsewhere classified

The ICD-10 code for pain, not elsewhere classified is G89.

G89 is a non-billable header code. It groups related conditions but cannot be used on its own for reimbursement — select one of the 5 more specific codes below.

Clinical notes

Code also

Two codes may be needed to fully describe a condition, but unlike Code First/Use Additional Code, the sequencing order is not mandated by convention.

  • related psychological factors associated with pain (F45.42)

Excludes1 (not coded here)

An Excludes1 note is a pure exclusion: the excluded condition and this code should never be reported together, because the two conditions cannot occur at the same time (e.g. a congenital form vs. an acquired form of the same disease).

  • generalized pain NOS (R52)
  • pain disorders exclusively related to psychological factors (F45.41)
  • pain NOS (R52)

Excludes2 (not included here)

An Excludes2 note means the excluded condition is not part of this one, but a patient can have both at the same time — in that case both codes may be reported together.

Documentation support
