Use ICD code 789.09 for flank pain because flank is a part of the abdomen.
724.2 is the code for back pain. It is a general ICD9 referring to a symptom, not a diagnosis.
ICD 9 CM Code for rib pain -786.50- Chest pain, unspecified.

Flank Pain is a kind of pain which is mainly characterised by mild to severe aching in the part of the body situated between the back and upper abdomen. This condition is commonly associated with problems in the kidney. In order to know the other factors which contribute to the etiology of the pain, it is important that patients know the different symptoms of this health condition. Some of the common causes of this pain are shingles, spinal arthritis, disk disease as well as muscle spasm. Other causes could be acute pyelonephritis, kidney stone and kidney abscess. Hope this helps.
We can code 724.5 for the upper back pain if no specific region like cervical or thoracic is mentioned in evaluation...........
The closest I am finding is 789.07, which is under "other symptoms involving abdomen and pelvis", "abdominal pain", "unspecified", "generalized", since no specific area was specified as to where the flank pain is located.
