A60.00

What This Code Means

This code describes a herpes simplex virus infection affecting the urinary or reproductive system when the specific location or type has not been determined. It's a sexually transmitted infection caused by the herpes simplex virus that affects genital or urinary organs.

Coding Tips

• •Use this unspecified code only when documentation does not specify the exact site (such as cervix, urethra, or other urogenital structures); if the site is documented, use a more specific A60.0x code
• •Verify whether the infection is HSV-1 or HSV-2 if documented, as this may affect treatment and counseling; also check for recurrent vs. initial episode documentation to support appropriate code selection
