A54.03

Billable

Gonococcal cervicitis, unspecified

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

This code describes an infection of the cervix (the opening of the uterus) caused by gonorrhea bacteria, when the specific type or severity is not documented. Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection that can cause inflammation and discharge in the cervical area.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation specifies cervicitis (inflammation of the cervix) and confirms gonorrheal etiology before assigning this code
  • •If the type of cervicitis is specified (such as acute or chronic), use the more specific subcategory code (A54.01 for acute or A54.02 for chronic) rather than the unspecified code A54.03
