The ICD-10-CM code for gout is M10. This code is used to indicate gout that is not specified by site. Gout is a type of arthritis that is caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints.
The ICD-10-CM also has codes for gout that are specified by site. For example, the code M10.071 is used for gout of the right ankle and foot. The code M10.09 is used for gout of multiple sites.
The specific code that is used will depend on the specific diagnosis made by the healthcare provider.
Here are some other ICD-10-CM codes that may be used for gout:
- M10.00: Gout, unspecified site
- M10.01: Gout of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP)
- M10.02: Gout of the other metatarsophalangeal joints
- M10.03: Gout of the knee
- M10.04: Gout of the other joints of the lower limb
The ICD-10-CM is updated every few years to add new codes and to make changes to existing codes. The current version is the ICD-10-CM 2023.
I hope this helps!
