Questions About R10.85Overview
Is R10.85 (Other abdominal pain) a billable code?

What MS-DRG does R10.85 group to?
When abdominal pain of multiple sites is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 391, 392, with relative weights from 0.7796 to 1.2683 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Use it with care. This is a symptom code, so once a definitive diagnosis explaining the abdominal pain of multiple sites is established, that condition takes the principal position instead.
