About coding venereal salpingitis
The ICD-10-CM code for venereal salpingitis is A54.24 (Gonococcal female pelvic inflammatory disease).
Within A54.2 (gonococcal pelviperitonitis and other gonococcal genitourinary infection), A54.24 is specifically for gonococcal female pelvic inflammatory disease. Related codes cover gonococcal infection of kidney and ureter (A54.21), gonococcal prostatitis (A54.22), gonococcal infection of other male genital organs (A54.23) and other gonococcal genitourinary infections (A54.29).
Don't report A54.24 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: gonococcal peritonitis (A54.85).
As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
