About A60

A60 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Anogenital herpesviral [herpes simplex] infections. It belongs to block A50-A64 (infections with a predominantly sexual mode of transmission) and chapter 1 (certain infectious and parasitic diseases). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: A60.0 (tract), A60.1 (rectum) and A60.9 (unspecified).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
