Help!
Can anyone make sense of the chapter 6 guidelines for pain? I interpret them to say that if a physician is treating for pain control then the primary diagnosis is G89.29 (Other chronic pain). OK, but then under sequencing, if the specific site is known, then you code pain for that site along with chronic pain?
What about injections?
