M10.2Drug-induced gout

M10.2 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for drug-induced gout. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Use additional code

Add a secondary code to capture the detail described below.

  • code for adverse effect, if applicable, to identify drug (T36-T50 with fifth or sixth character 5)

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above M10.2

Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of M10.2, 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 M10.2

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at M10.2. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading M10.2 alone.

  • E72Other disorders of amino-acid metabolism
  • E79Disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism
  • M1AChronic gout

Risk adjustment

M10.2 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

M10.2 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.

Code to one of these instead M10.2
