ICD-10 code for Anogenital herpes

The ICD-10-CM code for Anogenital herpes is A60.9 (Anogenital herpesviral infection, unspecified). The official index lists 9 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on A60.9.

Within A60, choose A60.9 (Anogenital herpesviral infection, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: herpesviral infection of genitalia and urogenital tract (A60.0) and herpesviral infection of perianal skin and rectum (A60.1).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 727 (Inflammation of the Male Reproductive System with MCC, relative weight 1.37), DRG 728 (Inflammation of the Male Reproductive System without MCC, relative weight 0.8224), DRG 742 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.8456), DRG 743 (Uterine and Adnexa Procedures for Non-Malignancy without CC/MCC, relative weight 1.2974), DRG 757 (Infections, Female Reproductive System with MCC, relative weight 1.4649), DRG 758 (Infections, Female Reproductive System with CC, relative weight 0.9908) and 4 more, in MDC 12 (Diseases and Disorders of the Male Reproductive System), MDC 13 (Diseases and Disorders of the Female Reproductive System) and MDC 25 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infections), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
