ICD-10 Code A60.03 – Herpesviral cervicitis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A60.03 – Herpesviral cervicitis
What it is
A60.03 identifies cervicitis caused by herpes simplex virus. Use it when the cervix is documented as infected with herpes, rather than for nonspecific genital herpes alone.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings may include cervical inflammation, pain, and lesions consistent with herpes infection, but the record should support cervical involvement.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents herpesviral infection of the cervix, including confirmed herpes cervicitis or cervicitis attributed to HSV. It may also apply when the cervix is specifically noted as the infected site. If the note only says genital herpes without cervical involvement, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use A60.03 for nonspecific cervicitis without herpes documentation. It is also wrong for herpes infections limited to other genital sites or for suspected herpes when the site is not confirmed.
Coding tip
Code the documented anatomic site carefully; herpes infection alone is not enough if the cervix is not specified.
