ICD-10 Code A54.00 – Gonococcal infection of lower genitourinary tract, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A54.00 – Gonococcal infection of lower genitourinary tract, unspecified
What it is
A54.00 identifies gonococcal infection affecting the lower genitourinary tract when the site is not further specified. Use it for gonorrhea involving structures such as the urethra or cervix when documentation does not name a more precise location.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly recorded findings include urethral or cervical discharge, dysuria, pelvic discomfort, or local inflammation consistent with gonococcal infection.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record confirms gonococcal infection of the lower genitourinary tract but does not specify a more exact anatomic site. It also fits when the clinician documents gonorrhea of the lower GU tract without further detail. If the note identifies another site or a more specific manifestation, code that instead.
Do not use for
Do not use A54.00 for gonococcal infection at other sites, such as the eye, pharynx, or disseminated disease. Do not use it when the chart only says “gonorrhea” and a more specific code is documented elsewhere.
Coding tip
Check the provider’s exact anatomic wording; unspecified site coding is appropriate only when no more precise lower GU location is documented.
