About A60.0

A60.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for herpesviral infection of genitalia and urogenital tract. It belongs to category A60 (Anogenital herpesviral [herpes simplex] infections), 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 6 subcodes must be used instead.

Within A60 (Anogenital herpesviral [herpes simplex] infections), A60.0 is specifically for herpesviral infection of genitalia and urogenital tract. Related codes cover herpesviral infection of perianal skin and rectum (A60.1) and Anogenital herpesviral infection, unspecified (A60.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: A60.00 (unspecified), A60.01 (penis), A60.02 (organs), A60.03 (cervicitis), A60.04 (vulvovaginitis) and A60.09 (tract).

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