If you receive the ICD9 code 338.2 (missing 5th digit) and the clinicals read "chronic pain," is it safe to code 338.29 (other chronic pain). As long as there is no notes specifying trauma, post thoractotomy pain or other chronic postoperative pain. There is no sub categories to 338.29. Please advise. Thank you.
