dx code 847.0

Hello Michele,
I have a couple patients that my dr used a dx code of 847.0 on and he said that it definitely wasn't an accident and I was wondering which 700 code I would used for neck neuromuscular for chiropractic use to bill it out to insurances.
Thanks a million

The 847.0 is not always related to an accident but it definitely triggers many insurance carriers to request accident information. You can either answer them with a description of what caused the onset of the cervical strain, or try using 723.1 which is cervicalgia or neck pain.

Michele,
Thanks for the information and help, I have one more what would the dx code in the 700's be for 847.1 and how do I figure out how they cross so I can figure this out without bugging you all the time.
Thanks

724.1 is for thoracic pain. Basically you just replace the 'sprain/strain' with pain and find that diagnosis. Instead of thoracic sprain, use thoracic pain.
