Rib Pain ICD-10-CM Codes

No. As we mentioned earlier, it’s best to use ones related to chest pain and specific problems that can cause rib pain.

Healthcare professionals may conduct imaging tests to get to the bottom of what’s causing the rib pain. They might also conduct a bone scan in case a patient has cancer.

That depends on what’s causing it. If the rib pain is mild, over-the-counter pain relievers should do the trick. Compression wraps are also a choice, but the moment it starts making breathing difficult, it should be removed.

If rib pain is tied to an underlying condition, then it should be treated.
