About coding vulva herpes
The ICD-10-CM code for vulva herpes is A60.04 (Herpesviral vulvovaginitis).
Within A60.0 (herpesviral infection of genitalia and urogenital tract), A60.04 is specifically for herpesviral vulvovaginitis. Related codes cover infection of urogenital system, unspecified (A60.00), infection of penis (A60.01), infection of other male genital organs (A60.02), cervicitis (A60.03) 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 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), DRG 759 (Infections, Female Reproductive System without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7691), DRG 974 (HIV with Major Related Condition with MCC, relative weight 3.0506) and 2 more, in 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.
