ICD-10 Code A54.89 – Other gonococcal infections (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A54.89 – Other gonococcal infections
What it is
Use this code for gonococcal infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae when the documented manifestation does not fit a more specific gonorrhea code. It captures other site-specific or atypical gonococcal infections.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Signs may include inflammation, discharge, pain, or other findings consistent with gonococcal infection, depending on the affected site.
When to use this code
Assign A54.89 when the record confirms gonococcal infection and the provider identifies it as “other” or documents a manifestation without a more precise ICD-10 option. Use it when the site or presentation is specified but does not match a dedicated code.
Review the note for the exact anatomic location and any linked conditions. If documentation is unclear, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for uncomplicated gonococcal infections that have a more specific code, or for nongonococcal sexually transmitted infections. Check documentation if the organism is not confirmed.
Coding tip
Code the documented gonococcal manifestation first, then verify whether a more specific site-based code applies before selecting A54.89.
