Unsp GU tract infection in pregnancy, first trimester

This code signifies an unconfirmed or unspecified infection of the urinary or reproductive system occurring during the initial three months of a pregnancy. It indicates that a genitourinary infection is present, but the specific organism, site, or type of infection has not been definitively diagnosed or documented.

Use this code when documentation indicates a genitourinary tract infection in a pregnant patient during her first trimester, but lacks specificity regarding the type of infection (e.g., UTI, vaginitis) or causative agent. This code is appropriate when the provider has documented "genitourinary infection in pregnancy, first trimester" without further detail.

• Avoid using this code if a more specific diagnosis (e.g., cystitis, pyelonephritis, vaginitis) is documented.
• Always sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis when the reason for the encounter is related to the pregnancy itself.
• Query the provider for more specific documentation regarding the type and site of infection whenever possible to allow for a more precise code assignment.
