About A59.03
A59.03 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Trichomonal cystitis and urethritis. It belongs to category A59 (trichomoniasis), block A50-A64 (infections with a predominantly sexual mode of transmission) and chapter 1 (certain infectious and parasitic diseases). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Within A59.0 (urogenital trichomoniasis), A59.03 is specifically for Trichomonal cystitis and urethritis. Related codes cover unspecified (A59.00), Trichomonal vulvovaginitis (A59.01), Trichomonal prostatitis (A59.02) and other urogenital trichomoniasis (A59.09).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 727 (Inflammation of the Male Reproductive System with MCC, relative weight 1.37), DRG 728 (Inflammation of the Male Reproductive System without MCC, relative weight 0.8224), DRG 742 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.8456), DRG 743 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy without CC/MCC, relative weight 1.2974), DRG 757 (Infections, Female Reproductive System with MCC, relative weight 1.4649), DRG 758 (Infections, Female Reproductive System with CC, relative weight 0.9908) and 1 more, in MDC 12 (Diseases and Disorders of the Male Reproductive System) and MDC 13 (Diseases and Disorders of the Female Reproductive System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 131.02 (Trichomonal urethritis).
