A74: Other diseases caused by chlamydiae

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

A74 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other diseases caused by chlamydiae. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1: never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

  • neonatal chlamydial conjunctivitis (P39.1)
  • neonatal chlamydial pneumonia (P23.1)
  • Reiter's disease (M02.3-)
  • sexually transmitted chlamydial diseases (A55-A56)

Excludes2: not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

  • chlamydial pneumonia (J16.0)

Other codes that can never be billed with A74

Their own Excludes1 notes name this code, so the conflict is not listed above.

  • K65Peritonitis
  • K67Disorders of peritoneum in infectious diseases classified elsewhere
