Herpesviral infection of penis

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

This is a viral infection of the penis caused by herpes simplex virus, characterized by painful blisters and sores on the genital area. It is a sexually transmitted infection that can recur periodically.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation specifies herpesviral infection of the penis rather than other genital herpes locations; use A60.01 specifically for penile involvement
  • •Check if this is an initial episode or recurrent infection, as some coding systems may require additional specificity; ensure the herpes simplex virus type (HSV-1 or HSV-2) is documented when available for complete clinical records
