About coding respiration pain
The ICD-10-CM code for respiration pain is R07.1 (Chest pain on breathing).
Within R07 (pain in throat and chest), R07.1 is specifically for chest pain on breathing. Related codes cover pain in throat (R07.0), Precordial pain (R07.2), other chest pain (R07.8) and chest pain, unspecified (R07.9).
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 204 (Respiratory Signs and Symptoms, relative weight 0.821), in MDC 04 (Diseases and Disorders of the Respiratory 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.
