What are PID ICD-10-CM Codes?
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is a female upper genital tract infection involving inflammation of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and surrounding supporting tissues. While the term PID itself is not directly listed in the ICD-10-CM code names, several codes describe acute and chronic inflammatory diseases affecting the female reproductive system, particularly the pelvic organs.
Here are some key ICD-10-CM codes for documenting pelvic inflammatory disease and related conditions:
- N73.9 – Female pelvic inflammatory disease, unspecified: Used when a woman is confirmed to have pelvic inflammatory disease but the specific infectious agent or affected area of the female genital tract is not yet identified. This unspecified code includes generalized inflammation involving the uterus, uterine appendages, and the surrounding genitourinary tract.
- A18.17 – Tuberculous female pelvic inflammatory disease: This code applies when inflammatory disease of the uterus or fallopian tubes arises due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, representing a chronic inflammatory disease classified elsewhere.
- A54.24 – Gonococcal female pelvic inflammatory disease: Used when pelvic inflammatory disease is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a bacterial infection that can spread via ascending infection to the uterine appendages, fallopian tubes, or female pelvic peritoneum.
- A56.11 – Chlamydial female pelvic inflammatory disease: This code refers to PID resulting from Chlamydia trachomatis, a common infectious agent in acute inflammatory disease of the female reproductive system and a major cause of chronic salpingitis and oophoritis.
- Z87.42 – Personal history of other diseases of the female genital tract: Use this for patients with a history of pelvic inflammatory disease, including prior cervix uteri, vulva, or vagina ulceration, or previous inflammatory diseases affecting the genitourinary system.
