What cannot be coded together with R07.2?

R07.2

R07.2 — Precordial pain

Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM

R07.2 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for precordial pain. It is valid for submission on a claim.

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above R07.2

These are not written on R07.2, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing R07.2 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on R07 — Pain in throat and chest

epidemic myalgia (B33.0)

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above R07.2

Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of R07.2, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.

pain in breast (N64.4)

Risk adjustment

R07.2 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Medicare coverage

R07.2 is named in 58 Medicare coverage policies — 58 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
