Lead-induced gout, left hip

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

What This Code Means

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

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation confirms lead as the etiology of gout; this is secondary gout, not primary idiopathic gout
  • •Ensure laterality is clearly documented as left hip; if documentation is unclear, use M10.159 for unspecified
