2025 ICD-10-CM code R87.810
(Active) Effective Date: N/A Revision Date: N/A Deletion Date: N/A Symptoms, signs, and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings - Abnormal findings on examination of other body fluids, substances, and tissues, without diagnosis Chapter 18: Symptoms, signs, and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified Feed
Positive cervical high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA test.
Modifiers may be applicable depending on the circumstances of the service provided. Consult your local guidelines.
Medical necessity for HPV testing is established based on several factors including age, sexual history, previous abnormal Pap smears, and family history of cervical cancer.Screening guidelines vary based on age and risk factors.
The clinical responsibility includes obtaining a cervical sample, performing the HPV DNA test, interpreting the results, and counseling the patient regarding the implications of the findings.Further management (e.g., colposcopy, biopsy) may be required based on the test results and patient’s clinical presentation.

- R87.81 (High risk human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA test positive from female genital organs)
In simple words: This code means a test came back positive for high-risk types of HPV in a sample from the cervix (the lower part of the uterus). High-risk HPV can increase the chance of cervical cancer or precancer, but this test alone doesn't mean you have cancer.More tests may be needed.
This code signifies a positive result from a DNA test detecting high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types in a cervical sample.High-risk HPV types are associated with an increased risk of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. The test does not diagnose cancer but indicates the presence of potentially oncogenic HPV DNA. Further investigation may be necessary to determine the clinical significance of the positive result.
Example 1: A 25-year-old female presents for a routine Pap smear and HPV test. The HPV test returns positive for high-risk HPV types.Colposcopy is recommended to visualize the cervix and obtain a biopsy if necessary., A 30-year-old female with abnormal Pap smear results undergoes HPV testing, which is positive for high-risk HPV. She undergoes colposcopy, which reveals an area of concern, leading to a biopsy and the diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)., A 40-year-old female presents with postcoital bleeding. HPV testing is performed as part of the evaluation, and it is positive for high-risk types.Further investigations are initiated to determine the cause of the bleeding.
* Patient demographics and medical history.* Indication for testing (e.g., routine screening, abnormal Pap smear, symptoms).* Date and method of specimen collection.* HPV test results, specifying high-risk types detected.* Physician's interpretation of results and plan of care.* Documentation of any follow-up procedures (e.g., colposcopy, biopsy).
** This code should be used only when high-risk HPV DNA is detected.Specify the high-risk types identified if possible.This code alone does not establish a diagnosis; further evaluation may be necessary.
