About coding penis herpes
The ICD-10-CM code for penis herpes is A60.01 (Herpesviral infection of penis).
Within A60.0 (herpesviral infection of genitalia and urogenital tract), A60.01 is specifically for herpesviral infection of penis. Related codes cover infection of urogenital system, unspecified (A60.00), infection of other male genital organs (A60.02), cervicitis (A60.03), vulvovaginitis (A60.04) and infection of other urogenital tract (A60.09).
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 974 (HIV with Major Related Condition with MCC, relative weight 3.0506), DRG 975 (HIV with Major Related Condition with CC, relative weight 1.3252) and DRG 976 (HIV with Major Related Condition without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.8124), in MDC 12 (Diseases and Disorders of the Male 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.
