About coding pleurodynia
The ICD-10-CM code for pleurodynia is R07.81 (Pleurodynia). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on R07.81.
Within R07.8 (other chest pain), R07.81 is specifically for pleurodynia. Related codes cover intercostal pain (R07.82) and other chest pain (R07.89).
Don't report R07.81 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: epidemic pleurodynia (B33.0).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
