Im trying to find the ICD 10 code ..it is pertinent because the patient presents to ED with headaches 1 week after the injection...any suggestions?
 
The provider would need to document that the headache is due to the lumbar injection. There is a code for post spinal injection headache. However if documentation does not link the two together for cause and effect relationship then you code only the headache.
 
If the documentation does link them together, then code G97.1. I did have a case recently that linked the two scenarios in a separate situation.
