Other urogenital trichomoniasis

This code represents a trichomonal infection of the urogenital tract that is not specified as being of the urinary tract or vagina. It indicates the presence of Trichomonas vaginalis in other parts of the genitourinary system, such as the urethra in males or other unspecified urogenital sites.

Use this code when documentation confirms trichomoniasis affecting the urogenital system, but the specific site is not explicitly stated as urinary or vaginal, or it involves another documented urogenital location. This code is appropriate for cases where the provider identifies Trichomonas vaginalis in a urogenital specimen without further site specificity.

• Ensure documentation clearly indicates trichomoniasis and a urogenital site other than or unspecified as urinary or vaginal.
• Do not use this code if the documentation specifies trichomoniasis of the urinary tract (A59.01) or vagina (A59.02).
• Consider any associated symptoms or complications, such as urethritis or cervicitis, and code them accordingly as secondary diagnoses.
