ICD-10-CM Code For Congenital Viral Diseases: Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group P35 includes congenital viral infections such as cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex, rubella, and other perinatally acquired viral diseases that present at or shortly after birth. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document neonatal infections with attention to timing of onset, organ system involvement, and clinical severity to capture disease burden and treatment needs. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM P35 group supports proper claim adjudication, complete clinical documentation, and appropriate reimbursement.

ICD-10-CM P35: Congenital Viral Diseases Overview
The ICD-10-CM P35 group includes viral infections present at birth that can affect multiple organ systems in the neonate, most commonly the nervous system, sensory organs, and hematologic system. These diagnoses represent perinatal infections acquired in utero or during the birthing process and can lead to long-term morbidity without timely recognition. Accurate coding matters for documenting clinical complexity, justifying necessary neonatal care, and supporting appropriate reimbursement for services related to congenital infection management.
