ICD-10 Code A60.00 – Herpesviral infection of urogenital system, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A60.00 – Herpesviral infection of urogenital system, unspecified
What it is
A60.00 identifies a herpesviral infection affecting the urogenital system when the site is not further specified. Use it for genital or urinary tract herpes documentation that does not name a more exact location.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include painful vesicular or ulcerative lesions in the genital or perineal area, with burning, itching, or dysuria. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use A60.00 when the record states herpes infection of the urogenital system but does not specify the exact anatomic site. It also fits cases where the provider documents genital herpes or urogenital herpes without further detail. If the note identifies a more specific herpes diagnosis, code that instead.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for herpes infections outside the urogenital system, such as oral or ocular disease. Do not use it when documentation supports a more specific herpes code or another confirmed diagnosis.
Coding tip
Check the provider’s wording carefully; unspecified codes are appropriate only when the chart lacks a more precise urogenital site.
