About O23.59

O23.59 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for infection of other part of genital tract in pregnancy. It belongs to category O23 (infections of genitourinary tract in pregnancy), block O20-O29 (other maternal disorders predominantly related to pregnancy) and chapter 15 (pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within O23.5, choose O23.59 (Infection of other part of genital tract in pregnancy) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: infection of cervix in pregnancy (O23.51) and Salpingo-oophoritis in pregnancy (O23.52).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: O23.591 (first trimester), O23.592 (second trimester), O23.593 (third trimester) and O23.599 (unspecified trimester).

Use an additional code to identify organism (B95.-, B96.-).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
