ICD-10 Code B07.0 – Plantar wart (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code B07.0 – Plantar wart
What it is
B07.0 identifies a plantar wart, a common viral skin growth on the sole of the foot. It is caused by human papillomavirus and may be painful when pressure is applied.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include a rough, thickened lesion on the plantar surface, often with interrupted skin lines and pinpoint dark dots. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use B07.0 when the record clearly documents a plantar wart, verruca plantaris, or wart on the sole. Code it when the provider identifies the lesion as a wart rather than a callus or corn. If the site is not specified as plantar, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use B07.0 for calluses, corns, or other nonviral foot lesions. If the documentation only says “wart” without location, confirm whether the plantar site is stated.
Coding tip
Look for explicit plantar location wording in the note before assigning B07.0.
