I am confused about this code 724.2. My doc wants all her back pain cases to reflect the 724.2 code, however, I was under the impression that if a more definitive dx is given...724.4 ; 722.10 ; 724.02 etc....then you should use the more specific dx.
Do you still put 724.2 on claim even if you are giving the more specific dx of the problem? I know the 722.10 includes low back pain so I do not normally code the 724.2 with it??
Any thoughts would help out, thanks
