These codes were created because ICD-9-CM did not have specific codes for encounters for pain management or for these specific types of pain. In addition to specific codes for post-thoracotomy pain and postoperative pain, there is a specific code for neoplasm-related pain (338.3). Generalized pain is coded to 780.96.

Often when people speak of flow, however, they are alluding to it in a larger sense. They are speaking of a connectedness to larger patterns of events and meaning. And here a new definition is required: Flow is the natural, effortless unfolding of our life in a way that moves us toward wholeness and harmony. Flow is natural because we personally do nothing to cause it to exist. Whether or not we give it our conscious attention, it just is.
