Lead-induced gout, left hand

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

Gout in the left hand caused by lead exposure or lead poisoning, resulting in joint inflammation and pain.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation confirms lead as the causative agent; do not use this code for primary gout without lead exposure
  • •Ensure laterality is clearly documented as left; if documentation is unclear, use the unspecified code M10.149
