Unsp GU tract infection in pregnancy, third trimester

This code signifies an unconfirmed or unspecified infection affecting the urinary or genital system during the third trimester of pregnancy. It indicates the presence of an infection within the genitourinary tract without specific identification of the pathogen or precise anatomical location.

Use this code when a pregnant patient in her third trimester presents with symptoms suggestive of a genitourinary infection, but the specific type or location (e.g., cystitis, pyelonephritis, vaginitis) is not documented, or the causative organism is unknown. This code is appropriate when documentation indicates "GU infection in pregnancy, third trimester, unspecified."

• Do not use if a more specific genitourinary infection (e.g., O23.0- for kidney infection) is documented.
• Always attempt to query for more specific documentation regarding the type and location of the infection.
• This code should be sequenced as a primary diagnosis when the infection is the reason for the encounter, or as a secondary diagnosis when it's a co-morbidity.
