Viral warts (B07)

ICD-10 code B07 covers all types of viral warts, which are skin growths caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. This section includes specific codes for different wart locations and types.

The ICD-10 code B07.0 specifically identifies plantar warts, commonly appearing on the soles of the feet, also called "verruca plantaris" or "mosaic plantar wart." These warts can present in terms familiar to coders as "bilateral plantar wart" or "hand wart" when on palms. B07.8 is used for other viral warts such as facial, subungual (under the nails), periungual, and "butcher's wart," capturing a wide range of wart types including "verruca vulgaris" and rare conditions like epidermodysplasia verruciformis. For cases where a viral wart is diagnosed but the location or type is not specified, B07.9 applies; this code includes warts associated with immune deficiencies and diverse synonyms like “filiform wart” or “condyloma acuminatum.” Using these specific codes ensures proper medical documentation and billing for patients with viral wart infections.

Instructional Notations

Includes

This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.

  • verruca simplex
  • verruca vulgaris
  • viral warts due to human papillomavirus

Type 2 Excludes

A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

  • anogenital venereal warts A63.0
  • papilloma of bladder D41.4
  • papilloma of cervix D26.0
  • papilloma larynx D14.1

Clinical Terms

The following clinical terms provide additional context, helping users better understand the clinical background and common associations for each diagnosis listed in this section. Including related terms alongside ICD-10-CM codes supports coders, billers, and healthcare professionals in improving accuracy, enhancing documentation, and facilitating research or patient education.

Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis

An autosomal recessive trait with impaired cell-mediated immunity. About 15 human papillomaviruses are implicated in associated infection, four of which lead to skin neoplasms. The disease begins in childhood with red papules and later spreads over the body as gray or yellow scales.
