Right Shoulder Pain ICD-10-CM Codes

Use a right shoulder pain ICD code, such as M25.51,1, when a patient presents with pain localized to the right shoulder, and no specific underlying condition (e.g., rotator cuff tear or arthritis) has been identified yet. This code is typically applied during the initial encounter or early evaluation phase for shoulder-related complaints.

Right shoulder pain diagnosis codes like M25.511 are billable under the ICD-10-CM system. These codes support accurate documentation and insurance reimbursement and are widely accepted by payers for evaluation and treatment planning.

Common treatments for right shoulder pain include physical therapy, ice therapy, corticosteroid injections, and range of motion exercises. Imaging tests, surgical options, or ergonomic adjustments may be considered in more severe or chronic cases. Treatment varies depending on the underlying cause and severity of the pain.
