Granuloma inguinale

In Infections with a predominantly sexual mode of transmission (A50-A64), chapter 1: Certain Infectious and Parasitic Diseases

  • A58 is billable and valid on claims for FY 2027. If the record has more detail, check the other codes under A50-A64 below.
  • As a secondary diagnosis it is not a CC or MCC, so it doesn't raise the MS-DRG payment.
  • Doesn't count toward a Medicare Advantage risk score (no HCC in V28).
  • AHRQ's Chronic Condition Indicator classes it as not chronic (an acute or short-term condition).
