ICD-10 Code A60.04 – Herpesviral vulvovaginitis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A60.04 – Herpesviral vulvovaginitis
What it is
A60.04 identifies herpes infection of the vulva and vagina. Use it when documentation specifies herpesviral vulvovaginitis rather than a broader anogenital herpes diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include painful genital lesions, burning, itching, and dysuria. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation if the record does not clearly state vulvovaginal herpes.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents herpesviral vulvovaginitis, genital herpes affecting the vulva and vagina, or a similar confirmed diagnosis. It is appropriate for visits focused on this specific anatomic site. If the note only says “genital herpes,” check documentation for site detail.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for oral herpes, nonspecific viral vaginitis, or herpes infection without vulvovaginal involvement. If the site is unclear, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code from the provider’s stated anatomic site; herpes codes are site-specific and should not be assumed from symptoms alone.
