Coding for STI Screening in Pregnancy

Screening for sexually transmitted infections (STI) is a critical component to preventing the spread of STIs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that STIs acquired in 2018 cost the American healthcare system nearly $16 billion in direct medical costs. It was also estimated that nearly one in five people in the U.S. had an STI on any given day in 2018. The CDC has detailed recommendations for STI screenings, including syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. For accurate ordering and medical documentation for STI screening in pregnancy, please see the coding guidance below.

Always check with your laboratory to determine the appropriate code and process for ordering an STI test in a pregnant patient. Some laboratories may have a bundled code that includes all of the initial tests typically performed for pregnancy.

Additionally, it is critical to confirm with the payer to determine coverage parameters for certain STI tests in pregnancy by each individual payer. If a payer is not covering a recommended test, please let us know through our Payment Advocacy and Policy Portal.
