About A52.7
A52.7 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other symptomatic late syphilis. It belongs to category A52 (late syphilis), block A50-A64 (infections with a predominantly sexual mode of transmission) and chapter 1 (certain infectious and parasitic diseases). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 9 subcodes must be used instead.
Within A52, choose A52.7 (Other symptomatic late syphilis) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: cardiovascular and cerebrovascular syphilis (A52.0), symptomatic neurosyphilis (A52.1), Asymptomatic neurosyphilis (A52.2), neurosyphilis, unspecified (A52.3), latent (A52.8) and unspecified (A52.9).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: A52.71 (oculopathy), A52.72 (bronchus), A52.73 (organs), A52.74 (viscera), A52.75 (ureter), A52.76 (syphilis), A52.77 (joint), A52.78 (tissue) and 1 more.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
