How is G89.29 listed in the Alphabetic Index?

These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to G89.29. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from G89

The conditions below can never be reported together with G89.29 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • generalized pain NOS (R52)
  • pain disorders exclusively related to psychological factors (F45.41)
  • pain NOS (R52)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from G89.2

The conditions below can never be reported together with G89.29 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • causalgia, lower limb (G57.7-)
  • causalgia, upper limb (G56.4-)
  • central pain syndrome (G89.0)
  • chronic pain syndrome (G89.4)
  • complex regional pain syndrome II, lower limb (G57.7-)
  • complex regional pain syndrome II, upper limb (G56.4-)
  • neoplasm related chronic pain (G89.3)
  • reflex sympathetic dystrophy (G90.5-)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 6

The conditions below are not part of G89.29, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, G89.29 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
  • certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
  • complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from G89

The conditions below are not part of G89.29, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, G89.29 and the excluded code may both be reported.

Code also — inherited from G89

Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether G89.29 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.

  • related psychological factors associated with pain (F45.42)
