BillableGonococcal vulvovaginitis, unspecified
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
This code describes a sexually transmitted infection caused by gonorrhea bacteria affecting the vulva and vagina in females, without specification of which structures are primarily involved. It represents inflammation and infection of the female external and internal genital tissues due to gonococcal infection.
Coding Tips
- •Verify documentation specifies gonococcal infection of the vulva and/or vagina; if other sites are involved (cervix, urethra, bartholin glands), use more specific codes from the A54.0x series
- •This code is unspecified, so if the medical record provides more detail about which anatomical structures are affected, consider using a more specific code (A54.01 for cervicitis, A54.03 for bartholin gland abscess, etc.)
