ICD-10 Code G43.D0 – Abdominal migraine, not intractable (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G43.D0 – Abdominal migraine, not intractable
What it is
G43.D0 identifies abdominal migraine without intractability. It is used for recurrent episodes of abdominal pain believed to be migraine-related, rather than a primary gastrointestinal disorder.
Clinical signs
Typical features include recurrent midline or diffuse abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, pallor, and symptom-free intervals. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents abdominal migraine and does not describe it as intractable. Apply it for repeated abdominal pain episodes linked to migraine features, especially when the chart rules out another clear abdominal cause.
Do not use it for nonspecific abdominal pain alone. Check documentation for the provider’s diagnosis and whether the condition is considered resistant to treatment.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for abdominal pain with no migraine diagnosis, or when the record supports another gastrointestinal disorder. If the provider documents intractable abdominal migraine, use the appropriate intractable code instead.
Coding tip
Confirm the exact provider wording, because “abdominal migraine” and “not intractable” determine the correct code selection.
