Other viral warts

This code represents various types of viral warts that are not specifically classified elsewhere. These are benign epidermal growths caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, presenting with diverse morphologies and locations. This includes warts such as filiform, plantar, or flat warts when a more specific code is unavailable.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates the presence of viral warts, but the specific type (e.g., verruca vulgaris, anogenital warts) is not specified or does not have a more precise ICD-10-CM code. This code is appropriate for general viral wart diagnoses where the physician's notes do not provide further detail for more granular coding.

• Avoid using this code if a more specific ICD-10-CM code for the type of viral wart is available (e.g., B07.0 for plantar wart, A63.0 for anogenital warts).
• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "viral warts" or a synonym, and that no other specific type is mentioned.
• Do not confuse with non-viral skin lesions or other benign skin growths; this code is strictly for viral etiologies.
