:confused:
I cant locate information for the most appropriate code for "cervical spasms" (nothing else mentioned on cause)
723.1 with 728.85 are the best i could locate but thinking I should one be using 1 ICD-9 so checking before speaking with provider!

Appreciate your input!!!!!:)

Mahalo!
 
cervical spasm

a great tool for coding is flashcode.com. it is very helpful. I came up with 661.40. Check it out in the back of the ICD-9 book. Cervical spasm is listed there.
Hope this helps
 
I would go for 728.85 alone.
If needed to code for back spasm we need to opt for 724.8
