What This Code Means
R07.82 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for intercostal pain. Intercostal pain is discomfort in the muscles and nerves between the ribs, often caused by muscle strain, injury, or nerve irritation. R07.82 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (r00-r99), within the section covering symptoms and signs involving the circulatory and respiratory systems (r00-r09).
R07.82 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.
Document the cause if known (trauma, muscle strain, shingles, or other conditions).
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for R07.82 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •Document the cause if known (trauma, muscle strain, shingles, or other conditions)
- •If caused by herpes zoster (shingles), code the underlying condition as the primary diagnosis
