Pain in throat and chest (R07) ICD-10-CM
The R07 code range covers pain in throat and chest with 9 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 7 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2027, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
- epidemic myalgia B33.0
Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

R07 separates throat pain from chest pain on breathing, pain in the area over the heart, other chest pain, and chest pain without a specified type. The other chest pain branch divides further into pleurodynia, pain between the ribs, and other chest pain.
