Encounter for screening for human papillomavirus (HPV) Z11. 51 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z11. 51 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A positive test result means that you have a type of high-risk HPV that's linked to cervical cancer. It doesn't mean that you have cervical cancer now, but it's a warning sign that cervical cancer could develop in the future.
Screening for malignant neoplasm of vagina (Z12. 72) Screening for HPV (V11. 51)
Certain people are at higher risk for HPV-related health problems. This includes gay and bisexual men and people with weak immune systems (including those who have HIV/AIDS). Most HPV infections that lead to cancer can be prevented with vaccines.
Low risk HPVs do not cause cancer, but may cause skin warts on or around the genitals and anus. High risk HPVs account for around 12 types of HPVs and may cause cancer. Of the high risk HPV types, types 16 and 18 are responsible for most HPV-caused cancers.
HPV is the most common STI. There were about 43 million HPV infections in 2018, many among people in their late teens and early 20s. There are many different types of HPV. Some types can cause health problems, including genital warts and cancers.
ICD-10 code: Z12. 4 Special screening examination for neoplasm of cervix.
For the virus, there is a screening code (Z11. 51) that captures the screening for HPV. The results can be captured as DNA-positive for cervical (R87. 810) and vaginal (R87.
For example, Z12. 31 (Encounter for screening mammogram for malignant neoplasm of breast) is the correct code to use when you are ordering a routine mammogram for a patient. However, coders are coming across many routine mammogram orders that use Z12.
A positive high-risk HPV test result indicates that the patient may be infected with one or more of the following HPV genotypes: 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59 and 68, which are associated with cervical cancer and its precursor lesions; however, cross-reactions with other genotypes may occur.
HPV type is a well established risk factor determinant for progression to cervical cancer. Over 40 HPV types infect the anogenital tract, 15 of which have been classified as high-risk for development of cervical cancer, 3 as probable high-risk, 12 as low-risk and 3 as undetermined-risk (4, 5) (Table 1).
Women below the age of 29 had the highest HPV prevalence (13%), which was significantly higher than that in the middle-aged women among age-groups of 30–59 years old (HPV prevalence of 4.9% for 30–39, 4.6% for 40–49, and 7.1% for 50–59 age-groups, p = 0.0003, 0.0001, and 0.011, respectively), and there was a less ...
If you got a positive HPV test and your Pap test was abnormal, your doctor will probably follow up with a colposcopy. Try to see a physician who specializes in this procedure. During a colposcopy, your doctor will look more closely at the cervix, vagina or vulva with a special microscope called a colposcope.
HPV is easily spread from sexual skin-to-skin contact with someone who has it. You get it when your vulva, vagina, cervix, penis, or anus touches someone else's genitals or mouth and throat — usually during sex. HPV can be spread even if no one cums, and even if a penis doesn't go inside the vagina/anus/mouth.
Surgery is necessary to remove precancerous cells caused by high risk HPV. This is to prevent the cells from becoming cancerous. A doctor can remove these cells from the cervix with a procedure called loop electrosurgical excision or with cervical cryotherapy.

HPV testing must be positive by viral detection tests in order to code as B97.7. R87.810 is not appropriate as there is no reference to this being cervical & it could very well be anal, but in either case neither are correct to use. That is unless it is documented, as coding based on assumption is not allowed.
For the HPV+ as long as it is officially documented by a physician as HPV+ you could could use B97.7. This is not to be confused with p16 positivity. HPV-positive is not equivalent to HPV mediated (p16+). HPV-type 16 refers to virus type and is different from p16 overexpression (p16+).
