Hello all,

What is the proper code when the doc states the patient is having diffuse abdominal pain. He does not give a specific area. Which would the proper code for this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Peggy,

Since your doc does not specify a site, I would go with the unspecified code of 789.00.

Have a great day!

Anytime. It's nice to know we can all network and bounce things off one another!
