Charcôt's joint, left hand

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

What This Code Means

A progressive joint condition affecting the left hand caused by loss of pain sensation, typically from diabetes or spinal cord disease, leading to joint damage and deformity.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify the underlying cause (diabetes, syphilis, spinal cord injury) and code it separately as the primary condition
  • •Ensure laterality is correctly documented as left hand; do not use this code if the hand side is unspecified
