Herpesviral vulvovaginitis

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 female external genitalia and vagina caused by herpes simplex virus, characterized by painful blisters, sores, and inflammation in the genital area. It is a sexually transmitted infection that can cause significant discomfort and recurrent episodes.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify the herpes simplex virus type (HSV-1 or HSV-2) in the documentation, as this may affect treatment decisions and patient counseling, though both types use the same ICD-10 code
  • •Ensure the diagnosis specifies vulvovaginitis (affecting both external and internal female genitalia) rather than other herpesviral genital manifestations to use this specific code
