A54.24
BillableGonococcal female pelvic inflammatory disease
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
This is a sexually transmitted infection caused by gonorrhea bacteria that affects the female reproductive organs, including the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, causing inflammation and infection. It can lead to pelvic pain, abnormal discharge, and serious complications if left untreated.
Coding Tips
- •Verify documentation specifies this is gonococcal PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) and not another cause of PID, as the organism type is essential for accurate coding
- •Ensure the documentation clearly indicates the infection is in the female pelvis; if the site is unspecified or involves other areas, a different A54 code may be more appropriate
Excludes 1 — Do NOT code together
- gonococcal peritonitis (A54.85)
