Central pain syndrome

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

Chronic pain originating from the central nervous system (brain or spinal cord) rather than from an injury or disease at a specific body location.

Coding Tips

  • •Document whether the central pain syndrome is acute or chronic; this code specifically indicates the chronic form
  • •Verify the pain is truly centrally mediated and not secondary to another documented condition
