Chest pain ICD-10 code
The ICD-10-CM code for chest pain is R07.9 — chest pain, unspecified. It is billable and valid for submission on a claim. There are 14 related codes, and which one you use depends on what the documentation supports.
Also written as cp.
The mistake coders make here
R07.9 is unspecified. If the chart says the pain is pleuritic (R07.1) or precordial (R07.2), those are more specific. And if a cardiac cause is established, the symptom code is no longer appropriate at all.
All ICD-10-CM codes for chest pain
