About R87.82

R87.82 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for low risk human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA test positive from female genital organs. It belongs to category R87 (abnormal findings in specimens from female genital organs), block R83-R89 (abnormal findings on examination of other body fluids, substances and tissues, without diagnosis) and chapter 18 (symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within R87.8 (other abnormal findings in specimens from female genital organs), R87.82 is specifically for low risk human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA test positive from female genital organs. Related codes cover high risk human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA test positive from female genital organs (R87.81) and other abnormal findings in specimens from female genital organs (R87.89).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: R87.820 (positive) and R87.821 (positive).

Use an additional code for associated human papillomavirus (B97.7).

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