Other secondary gout, unspecified site

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

What This Code Means

Gout caused by factors other than renal impairment (such as medications or other metabolic conditions) affecting an unspecified joint location.

Coding Tips

  • •Identify the specific secondary cause of gout (e.g., medication-induced, leukemia) and document it clearly
  • •Query provider for specific joint location if possible, as unspecified codes should be used only when site cannot be determined
