ICD-10 Code A60.09 – Herpesviral infection of other urogenital tract (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A60.09 – Herpesviral infection of other urogenital tract
What it is
This code identifies herpes simplex infection affecting parts of the urogenital tract other than the sites named in more specific codes. Use it when documentation supports a genital or urinary tract herpes infection, but the exact location is not otherwise specified.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings may include painful vesicular or ulcerative lesions, local burning, dysuria, or recurrent genital outbreaks consistent with herpes simplex infection.
When to use this code
Use A60.09 when the record clearly states herpesviral infection of another urogenital tract site and no more specific ICD-10-CM code applies. It may fit cases involving documented herpes infection of the urethra, cervix, or other specified urogenital structures if the provider does not name a more precise diagnosis. Check documentation if the anatomic site is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for oral herpes, nonspecific genital irritation, or a urogenital infection not documented as herpesviral. If the chart identifies a different genital herpes site, choose the more specific code.
Coding tip
Match the code to the exact anatomic site in the provider note, and query if “other urogenital tract” is not clearly supported.
