It may be challenging to determine when to code for pain. These may be used in conjunction with codes from other categories to provide more detailed information about acute and chronic pain and neoplasm-related pain. Pain codes from category G89 may be used as a principal diagnosis or secondary diagnosis. When there is no mention of an acute or chronic, the default is acute. Do not code to category G89 if the pain is not stated as acute or chronic post-thoracotomy, postoperative, central pain syndrome, chronic pain syndrome, or neoplasm-related pain. If a patient comes in for pain treatment or management due to neoplasm, code the G89.3 first and then the neoplasm code.
