About R10.83
R10.83 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for colic. It belongs to category R10 (abdominal and pelvic pain), 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 billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Within R10.8 (other abdominal pain), R10.83 is specifically for colic. Related codes cover abdominal tenderness (R10.81), rebound abdominal tenderness (R10.82), generalized abdominal pain (R10.84), abdominal pain of multiple sites (R10.85) and flank tenderness (R10.8A).
Don't report R10.83 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: colic in adult and child over 12 months old (R10.84).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 391 (Esophagitis, Gastroenteritis and Miscellaneous Digestive Disorders with MCC, relative weight 1.2392) and DRG 392 (Esophagitis, Gastroenteritis and Miscellaneous Digestive Disorders without MCC, relative weight 0.7645), in MDC 06 (Diseases and Disorders of the Digestive System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
The Medicare Code Editor expects this diagnosis only for patients age 0 through 17; other ages trigger an age-conflict edit.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 789.7 (colic).
