M10.1 — Lead-induced gout
M10.1 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for lead-induced gout. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Code first
The underlying condition must be sequenced before this code.
- toxic effects of lead and its compounds (T56.0-)
Excludes2 inherited from the categories above M10.1
Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of M10.1, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.
Written on M10 — Gout
- chronic gout (M1A.-)
Other codes that can never be billed with M10.1
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at M10.1. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading M10.1 alone.
Risk adjustment
M10.1 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
Code history
M10.1 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
