Coding Tips
- •Use this code only when the gonorrheal infection involves lower genitourinary sites other than the urethra (A54.01) or cervix (A54.02); review documentation carefully to identify the specific anatomical location
- •This is a reportable sexually transmitted infection; ensure proper documentation of the infection site and consider adding a fifth character if the code structure requires laterality or additional specificity per your facility's coding guidelines
