ICD-10-CM Code For Viral Warts: Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group B07 includes viral warts caused by human papillomavirus, covering common warts, plantar warts, flat warts, and other benign epithelial proliferations of skin and mucous membranes. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document clinical encounters for wart identification, treatment procedures, anatomic site involvement, and disease persistence or recurrence. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM B07 group supports proper claim adjudication / complete clinical documentation / appropriate reimbursement.

ICD-10-CM B07: Viral Warts Overview

The diagnoses in this group represent infections caused by human papillomavirus resulting in cutaneous and mucous membrane warts affecting skin and mucosal surfaces. These conditions commonly involve epidermal hyperproliferation with presentations such as common warts, plantar warts, and flat warts. Accurate coding matters for correct clinical documentation and supports appropriate billing and reimbursement processes.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when a clinical diagnosis of viral wart is documented, including specification of anatomic site or wart type when available. Codes from this group are appropriate for encounters for evaluation, treatment, removal, or follow-up of viral warts.

Typical Clinical Scenarios

An otherwise healthy young adult presents to urgent care with multiple small, rough, flesh-colored papules on the dorsum of both hands and reports recent grooming-related minor skin trauma; lesions developed over weeks and are localized to the sites of contact without systemic symptoms. A clinician examines the characteristic verrucous lesions consistent with common viral warts and documents a primary cutaneous wart diagnosis for treatment planning. Typical codes: B07.0, B07.9
A pediatric patient is seen in outpatient dermatology for persistent plantar painful hyperkeratotic lesions on the soles of both feet that impair walking and have recurred despite over-the-counter treatments; the dermatologist performs debridement and documents verrucae plantaris as the chronic problem being managed. Because this is a localized wart variant requiring ongoing care, a specific code for plantar viral wart is assigned. Typical codes: B07.8, B07.9
An immunocompromised older adult (post-transplant) presents to clinic with extensive, unusually large and rapidly spreading cutaneous papillomatous lesions on the face and neck, raising concern for atypical wart proliferation as a comorbidity complicating immunosuppression management. The clinician documents multiple viral warts as a secondary diagnosis contributing to skin morbidity and the need for targeted therapeutic interventions. Typical codes: B07.8, B07.9
