ICD-10 Code B37.49 – Other urogenital candidiasis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B37.49 – Other urogenital candidiasis
What it is
B37.49 identifies candidiasis affecting the urogenital tract in a site not named by a more specific ICD-10-CM code. Use it for documented Candida infection of urinary or genital structures when the record does not support a more precise code.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly, records note Candida infection with local genitourinary inflammation, irritation, discharge, or urinary discomfort, but you should code only when the provider documents a urogenital Candida infection.
When to use this code
Use B37.49 when the clinician documents “urogenital candidiasis,” “Candida infection of the genitourinary tract,” or another nonspecific urogenital Candida diagnosis. It is appropriate when the infection site is not specified enough for a more exact code. If the note identifies a different anatomic site, choose that specific candidiasis code instead.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for oral, esophageal, skin, or vulvovaginal candidiasis when a more specific code applies. Check documentation if the record only mentions colonization, yeast in urine, or an unspecified fungal infection.
Coding tip
Match the code to the documented anatomic site; if the provider names the exact genitourinary location, code it more specifically.
