Gonorrhea complicating pregnancy, unspecified trimester

This code signifies a confirmed diagnosis of gonorrhea occurring during a pregnancy, where the specific trimester is not documented. It indicates an active gonococcal infection in a pregnant patient, requiring appropriate management to prevent maternal and fetal complications.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a pregnant patient has gonorrhea, but the medical record does not specify which trimester the infection was diagnosed or is being treated. This code is appropriate for initial diagnosis or follow-up encounters where trimester information is absent.

• Always attempt to clarify the trimester from the provider if possible to use a more specific code (O98.211, O98.212, O98.213).
• Sequence this code as a secondary diagnosis following the appropriate pregnancy code (e.g., O09.- for supervision of normal pregnancy).
• Ensure documentation clearly states "gonorrhea" and "pregnancy" to support this code.
