About coding colic cramp
The ICD-10-CM code for colic cramp is R10.83 (Colic). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on R10.83.
Within R10.8 (other abdominal pain), R10.83 is specifically for colic. Related codes cover abdominal tenderness (R10.81), rebound abdominal tenderness (R10.82), generalized abdominal pain (R10.84), abdominal pain of multiple sites (R10.85) and flank tenderness (R10.8A).
Don't report R10.83 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: colic in adult and child over 12 months old (R10.84).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
