ICD-10 Code A54.09 – Other gonococcal infection of lower genitourinary tract (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A54.09 – Other gonococcal infection of lower genitourinary tract
What it is
This code identifies a gonococcal infection affecting the lower genitourinary tract that does not fit a more specific category. Use it when documentation states gonococcal disease in this area and no narrower code applies.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly reported findings may include urethral or cervical inflammation, dysuria, discharge, or other signs of lower genital tract infection consistent with gonorrhea.
When to use this code
Use A54.09 when the provider documents an other or unspecified gonococcal infection limited to the lower genitourinary tract. It is appropriate when the record supports gonococcal involvement but does not identify a more specific site or manifestation. If the documentation names a different anatomic site, code that condition instead.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for nongonococcal urethritis, cervicitis, or other infections without documented gonorrhea. Also avoid it when a more specific gonococcal code is clearly supported by the record.
Coding tip
Check whether the documentation specifies urethral, cervical, or other lower tract involvement before defaulting to A54.09.
