A56.2

What This Code Means

A bacterial infection caused by Chlamydia that affects the reproductive and urinary organs, but the specific location within these systems is not documented. This is a sexually transmitted infection that can cause discharge, pain during urination, and fertility problems if left untreated.

Coding Tips

• •Query the provider if more specific anatomical site information is available (such as cervicitis, urethritis, or proctitis) as this would allow for more precise coding with a fifth character
• •Ensure documentation includes whether this is an initial encounter, follow-up visit, or sequela, as the seventh character is required for complete ICD-10-CM coding
