STD Coding Guidelines
- Coding of an STD involves combining a code for the infection, with the relevant pathogen.
- For the infection, choose a code indicating an infection of that body part
- e.g. for CNS syphilis would use: Encephalitis, meningoencephalitis, myelitis, encephalomyelitis, bacterial combined with the bug code
- e.g. for the "usual" cutaneous manifestation of many STDs, combine Sexually transmitted (venereal) infections, NOS with the bug code.
- Pathogen choices for STDs would include:
- The three major specific ones are:
- If it's not one of those 3, then other options for pathogen include:
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
- Vagina, vaginitis, acute
- Vagina, vaginitis, chronic
- Sexually transmitted (venereal) infections, NOS
- Vagina or vulva, inflammatory or infectious disorder NOS
- Vagina, disorder NOS (noninflammatory, noninfectious)
- Chlamydia psittici infection
