R07Pain in throat and chest

R07 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for pain in throat and chest. It belongs to block R00-R09 (symptoms and signs involving the circulatory and respiratory systems) and chapter 18 (symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 5 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: R07.0 (throat), R07.1 (breathing), R07.2 (pain), R07.8 (pain) and R07.9 (unspecified).

Don't report R07 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: epidemic myalgia (B33.0).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of R07, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: jaw pain R68.84 and pain in breast (N64.4).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
