Question: What is the correct diagnosis code for peri-scapular pain?
Wisconsin Subscriber
Answer: The most accurate diagnosis in many cases is 719.41 (Pain in joint; shoulder region). If the patient experiences pain further up his or her neck, 723.1 (Cervicalgia) might be a better choice. Read your physician's notes carefully to pinpoint the location of pain.
