ICD-10 Code M05.032 – Felty’s syndrome, left wrist (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M05.032 – Felty’s syndrome, left wrist
What it is
M05.032 identifies Felty’s syndrome affecting the left wrist. Use it when rheumatoid arthritis is documented with the Felty syndrome diagnosis in the left wrist.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Felty’s syndrome is classically associated with rheumatoid arthritis and splenomegaly, with possible neutropenia and recurrent infections.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents Felty’s syndrome and specifies the left wrist as the affected site. It supports laterality-specific coding for the wrist in ICD-10-CM. If the record does not clearly link the syndrome to the left wrist, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for rheumatoid arthritis of the wrist without Felty’s syndrome. Do not use it when the side is not documented or when another joint is the only confirmed site.
Coding tip
Confirm both the Felty’s syndrome diagnosis and left-sided wrist documentation before assigning M05.032.
