About R10

R10 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for abdominal and pelvic pain. It belongs to block R10-R19 (symptoms and signs involving the digestive system and abdomen) 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 7 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: R10.0 (abdomen), R10.1 (abdomen), R10.2 (pain), R10.3 (abdomen), R10.8 (pain), R10.9 (pain) and R10.A (flank).

Don't report R10 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: renal colic (N23).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of R10, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: costovertebral (angle) tenderness (R39.85), dorsalgia (M54.-) and flatulence and related conditions (R14.-).

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