ICD-10 Code for Zoster without complications- B02. 9- Codify by AAPC.
Herpes zoster is simply another medical name for shingles. Varicella-zoster is the virus that causes both shingles and chickenpox.
Shingles is a rash that causes blisters on the skin, which may feel painful or itchy. Disseminated shingles is a widespread form of shingles that covers more areas of the body. Shingles, or herpes zoster, is a skin rash that causes blisters across one side of the body.
Medicaid Billing Providers must bill with CPT code: 90750 - Zoster (shingles) vaccine, (HZV), recombinant, sub-unit, adjuvanted, for intramuscular injection. One Medicaid unit of coverage is 0.5 mL. The maximum reimbursement rate per unit is $144.20.
Genital herpes is caused by herpes simplex 2. The condition we call shingles is caused by herpes zoster. Herpes zoster is the same viral infection that causes chicken pox, and the herpes zoster virus can live in the body for years after the case of chicken pox is gone, and re-emerge as the painful blisters of shingles.
Herpes zoster, or shingles, is a common viral infection of the nerves, which results in a painful rash of small blisters on a strip of skin anywhere on the body. Even after the rash is gone, the pain may continue for months. Shingles is relatively rare in children.
Laboratory Testing Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the most useful test for confirming cases of suspected zoster sine herpete (herpes zoster-type pain that occurs without a rash). PCR can be used to detect VZV DNA rapidly and sensitively, and is now widely available.
It is believed that zoster occurs due to the failure of the immune defense system to control the latent replication of the virus. The incidence of herpes zoster is strongly correlated to the immune status. Individuals who maintain a high level of immunity rarely develop shingles.

Varicella-zoster is a herpes virus that causes chickenpox, a common childhood illness. It is highly contagious. If an adult develops chickenpox, the illness may be more severe.
Shingles is not caused by the same virus that causes genital herpes, a sexually transmitted disease. Shingles cannot be passed from one person to another. However, the virus that causes shingles, the varicella zoster virus, can be spread from a person with active shingles to another person who has never had chickenpox.
Herpes zoster, also known as shingles, is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the same virus that causes varicella (chickenpox). Primary infection with VZV causes varicella. Once the illness resolves, the virus remains latent in the dorsal root ganglia.
