About coding gonococcal prostatitis
The ICD-10-CM code for gonococcal prostatitis is A54.22 (Gonococcal prostatitis).
Within A54.2 (gonococcal pelviperitonitis and other gonococcal genitourinary infection), A54.22 is specifically for gonococcal prostatitis. Related codes cover gonococcal infection of kidney and ureter (A54.21), gonococcal infection of other male genital organs (A54.23), gonococcal female pelvic inflammatory disease (A54.24) and other gonococcal genitourinary infections (A54.29).
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.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 727 (Inflammation of the Male Reproductive System with MCC, relative weight 1.37) and DRG 728 (Inflammation of the Male Reproductive System without MCC, relative weight 0.8224), in MDC 12 (Diseases and Disorders of the Male Reproductive System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
