A63.0Primary Range

Anogenital warts

Primary code for HPV-confirmed anogenital warts, including condyloma acuminatum.

Other and unspecified viral warts

Used when HPV is not confirmed or specified.

Condyloma latum

Used for syphilitic lesions, not HPV-related.

Molluscum contagiosum

Differential diagnosis for umbilicated lesions.

CodeDescriptionWhen to UseKey Documentation
A63.0Anogenital wartsUse when HPV is confirmed via testing.
  • PCR showing HPV-6/11
  • Biopsy with koilocytosis
B07.8Other viral wartsUse when warts are documented without HPV confirmation.
  • Clinical diagnosis without HPV confirmation.

Clinical Decision Support

Always review the patient's clinical documentation thoroughly. When in doubt, choose the more specific code and ensure documentation supports it.

Key Information: ICD-10 code for condyloma

Essential facts and insights about Condyloma

Condyloma is coded as A63.0 for anogenital warts with confirmed HPV. Use B97.7 for HPV causation.

Decision Criteria

clinical Criteria

  • HPV confirmation via PCR or biopsy.

documentation Criteria

  • Detailed description of lesion morphology and location.

Applicable To

  • Condyloma acuminatum

Excludes

Clinical Validation Requirements

  • PCR showing HPV-6/11
  • Biopsy with koilocytosis

Code-Specific Risks

  • Incorrectly coding as B07.9 when HPV is confirmed.

Coding Notes

  • Ensure HPV confirmation through clinical testing.

Ancillary Codes

Additional codes that should be used in conjunction with the main diagnosis codes when applicable.

Papillomavirus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere

B97.7
Use as a secondary code with A63.0 to indicate HPV causation.

Differential Codes

Alternative codes to consider when ruling out similar conditions to the primary diagnosis.

Condyloma latum

A51.31
Syphilitic lesions, confirmed by serology.

Molluscum contagiosum

B08.1
Pearly, umbilicated lesions.

Documentation & Coding Risks

Avoid these common documentation and coding issues when documenting Condyloma to ensure proper reimbursement, maintain compliance, and reduce audit risk. These guidelines are particularly important when using ICD-10 code A63.0.

Impact

Clinical: Potential misdiagnosis or inappropriate treatment., Regulatory: Non-compliance with documentation standards., Financial: Denied claims due to insufficient documentation.

Mitigation Strategy

Include HPV test results in documentation., Specify lesion morphology and location.

Impact

Reimbursement: Incorrect DRG assignment leading to underpayment., Compliance: Non-compliance with ICD-10 guidelines., Data Quality: Inaccurate clinical data representation.

Mitigation Strategy

Use A63.0 with B97.7 for confirmed HPV cases.

Impact

Lack of HPV confirmation in records.

Mitigation Strategy

Implement mandatory HPV testing documentation.

Documentation errors, coding pitfalls, and audit risks are interconnected aspects of medical coding and billing. Addressing all three areas helps ensure accurate coding, optimal reimbursement, and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ICD-10 coding for Condyloma, with expert answers to help guide accurate code selection and documentation.

Documentation Templates for Condyloma

Use these documentation templates to ensure complete and accurate documentation for Condyloma. These templates include all required elements for proper coding and billing.

Diagnosis of HPV-confirmed anal condyloma

Specialty: Dermatology

Required Elements

  • Anatomic site
  • Lesion morphology
  • HPV test results

Example Documentation

LOCATION: Perianal region MORPHOLOGY: 6 mm pedunculated lesion with verrucous surface DIAGNOSTICS: HPV PCR positive for type 11 HISTOLOGY: Koilocytes present, squamous hyperplasia PLAN: Cryotherapy to 3 lesions (1.5 cm total area)

Examples: Poor vs. Good Documentation

Poor Documentation Example
Anal wart treated
Good Documentation Example
0.8 cm fleshy perianal lesion, HPV-6 confirmed via PCR, destroyed via electrodesiccation
Explanation
The good example provides specific lesion details and confirms HPV status, improving clinical accuracy.
