which code would you use for:
1) muscle spasm of neck

M62.838 other muscle spasm
m62.48 contracture of muscle , other site


2) suprapubic abdominal pain be?

R10.2

thanks much appreciated
 
1) Per index Spasm > Muscle which leads to M62.838 (the only other options are Calf and Back). Contracture is not a spasm but when the muscle and tendons shorten reducing flexibility. Spasms can lead to contracture but its further down in the disease process.

2) Per index Pain > Abdominal > Lower. I believe Pelvic works and I don't believe it wouldn't be wrong to use the default code.
