Instructional NotesGuidance
Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to R07.89: its own notes plus those printed at R07 and Chapter 18. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.
Applicable To
Conditions this code is used for: synonyms of the title or, for "other specified" codes, the conditions assigned to it. The list is not exhaustive.
- Anterior chest-wall pain NOS
Excludes1
Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.
Excludes2
Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.
Notes
General instructions on how these codes are used.
- This chapter includes symptoms, signs, abnormal results of clinical or other investigative procedures, and ill-defined conditions regarding which no diagnosis classifiable elsewhere is recorded.
- Signs and symptoms that point rather definitely to a given diagnosis have been assigned to a category in other chapters of the classification. In general, categories in this chapter include the less well-defined conditions and symptoms that, without the necessary study of the case to establish a final diagnosis, point perhaps equally to two or more diseases or to two or more systems of the body. Practically all categories in the chapter could be designated 'not otherwise specified', 'unknown etiology' or 'transient'. The Alphabetical Index should be consulted to determine which symptoms and signs are to be allocated here and which to other chapters. The residual subcategories, numbered .8, are generally provided for other relevant symptoms that cannot be allocated elsewhere in the classification.
- The conditions and signs or symptoms included in categories R00-R94 consist of:
- (a) cases for which no more specific diagnosis can be made even after all the facts bearing on the case have been investigated;
- (b) signs or symptoms existing at the time of initial encounter that proved to be transient and whose causes could not be determined;
- (c) provisional diagnosis in a patient who failed to return for further investigation or care;
- (d) cases referred elsewhere for investigation or treatment before the diagnosis was made;
- (e) cases in which a more precise diagnosis was not available for any other reason;
- (f) certain symptoms, for which supplementary information is provided, that represent important problems in medical care in their own right.

Questions About R07.89Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for other chest pain?
The ICD-10-CM code for other chest pain is R07.89 (sometimes written as R0789). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is R07.89 (Other chest pain) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report other chest pain on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does R07.89 group to?
When other chest pain is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 313 (chest Pain), which carries a relative weight of 0.7113. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Can R07.89 be a principal diagnosis?
Use it with care. This is a symptom code, so once a definitive diagnosis explaining the other chest pain is established, that condition takes the principal position instead.
Can R07.89 be reported with B33.0?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at R07, which applies to R07.89, lists "epidemic myalgia (B33.0)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
