ICD-10 Code A54.24 – Gonococcal Female Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A54.24 – Gonococcal female pelvic inflammatory disease
What it is
A54.24 identifies pelvic inflammatory disease in a female patient caused by gonococcal infection. Use it when documentation links the pelvic infection to Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly recorded findings include pelvic pain, cervical or adnexal tenderness, and other signs of upper genital tract infection.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents gonococcal PID, salpingitis, or a similar pelvic infection due to gonorrhea in a female patient. It also fits when the note clearly states gonococcal involvement and the infection is pelvic in origin. Check documentation if the organism or site is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use A54.24 for nongonococcal PID, cervicitis without pelvic disease, or unspecified pelvic infection. If gonococcal infection is present but pelvic involvement is not documented, check documentation.
Coding tip
Link the diagnosis to both the organism and the pelvic site in the record before assigning A54.24.
