Also known as
Other viral agents as the cause
Identifies HPV infection as the cause of a disease.
Anogenital (venereal) warts
Specific to visible warts caused by HPV infection.
Malignant neoplasm of female genital organs
Includes cancers linked to HPV, like cervical cancer.
Malignant neoplasm of male genital organs
Includes penile and anal cancers potentially caused by HPV.
Follow this step-by-step guide to choose the correct ICD-10 code.
Is HPV infection confirmed by a test?
Yes
Are there any apparent manifestations?
No
Do not code HPV. Code presenting symptoms only.

HPV Positive |
Genital Warts |
Cervical Dysplasia |
Coding HPV positive without specifying the type (e.g., 16, 18) when documented, impacting risk adjustment and quality metrics.
Incorrectly coding HPV DNA vs. RNA or antibody tests, leading to inaccurate clinical data and potential billing errors.
Omitting laterality (left, right, bilateral) for HPV diagnosis when relevant (e.g., cervical HPV), impacting accurate tracking and treatment.
Patient presents with concerns regarding human papillomavirus HPV infection. Patient reports learning of a positive HPV test result. Specific HPV type confirmed or tested for should be documented if available e.g. HPV 16, HPV 18, or other high-risk HPV types. Patient history includes relevant sexual history details such as age of first sexual intercourse, number of partners, and history of sexually transmitted infections STIs. Review of systems includes questions regarding genital warts, abnormal Pap smear results, cervical dysplasia, or other HPV-related symptoms. Physical examination findings including the presence or absence of genital warts or other lesions are documented. Diagnosis of human papillomavirus infection is confirmed by positive HPV DNA or RNA test. Differential diagnoses may include other STIs or benign genital lesions. Plan includes patient education regarding HPV transmission, natural history, and potential health risks including cervical cancer and other HPV-associated cancers. Discussion of HPV vaccination for eligible patients and their partners is documented. Colposcopy referral for abnormal Pap smears or high-risk HPV types is considered. Follow-up recommendations are provided based on individual patient risk factors and test results. Patient counseling addresses safe sex practices and the importance of regular cervical cancer screening. ICD-10 codes such as B97.7 and relevant CPT codes for procedures performed e.g. colposcopy are documented for medical billing and coding purposes. This documentation supports appropriate healthcare resource utilization and facilitates accurate medical record keeping within the electronic health record EHR system.
