Unanswered Chronic pain

I am looking for pain coding articles, I am having a audit and I am not understanding why is neck pain with a flair of radiculopathy a chronic problem, the provider has not established to be chronic but I am been told that because the provider documented "ongoing" it indicates is chronic. and that is the explanation. I have answered that if this is chronic should chronic pain be diagnosed they are saying no but it is a level 4 e/m because is chronic with prescription given on DOS.
