About R07.8

R07.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other chest pain. It belongs to category R07 (pain in throat and chest), 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within R07, choose R07.8 (Other chest pain) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: pain in throat (R07.0), chest pain on breathing (R07.1), Precordial pain (R07.2) and chest pain, unspecified (R07.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: R07.81 (pleurodynia), R07.82 (pain) and R07.89 (pain).

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