Neoplasm related pain (acute) (chronic)

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

What This Code Means

Pain caused by cancer or a malignant tumor, which can be either short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic).

Coding Tips

  • •Always code the underlying neoplasm first, then use this code as a secondary diagnosis to indicate pain is a significant symptom
  • •Specify whether the pain is acute or chronic in documentation; this single code encompasses both timeframes
