Coding Tips
- •Verify documentation specifies gonococcal infection of the urinary tract; if the site is specified as only cystitis or only urethritis, consider using more specific codes A54.00 or A54.02
- •This code requires confirmation of gonorrhea diagnosis through laboratory testing; ensure the medical record documents positive gonorrhea culture or nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT)
