ICD-10-PCS Code For Testicle Right: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BV05 includes procedures performed to image the testicle, right using plain radiography in the male reproductive system. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when planar radiographic imaging of the right testicle is performed to evaluate anatomy or pathology. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BV05 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Testicle, Right Plain Radiography Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes planar display radiographic imaging of the right testicle developed from capture of external ionizing radiation on photographic or photoconductive plate. These procedures target the male reproductive system and are used to visualize testicular anatomy and pathology. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding ensures inpatient records reflect the imaging performed and supports appropriate case mix assignment and payment.

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
BV050ZZ	Plain Radiography of Right Testicle using High Osmolar Contrast
BV051ZZ	Plain Radiography of Right Testicle using Low Osmolar Contrast
BV05YZZ	Plain Radiography of Right Testicle using Other Contrast

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged man is admitted from the emergency department with acute, severe right scrotal pain and swelling after a possible torsion event; concern for testicular torsion vs. epididymitis prompts inpatient diagnostic workup to rapidly evaluate testicular anatomy and guide urgent management. Plain radiography of the right testicle may be obtained to assess for radiopaque foreign bodies or calcifications when ultrasound is inconclusive or to document gross structural abnormalities. Typical codes: BV050ZZ, BV051ZZ
A hospitalized older male with a history of testicular cancer is scheduled for preoperative imaging before planned surgical exploration of the right hemiscrotum to evaluate for tumor calcification or staging-related findings; the inpatient imaging documents baseline radiographic appearance of the right testicle as part of the operative workup. A planar radiograph of the right testicle is performed to capture external ionizing radiation images for comparison with prior studies. Typical codes: BV05YZZ
A young adult is admitted for evaluation after blunt scrotal trauma from a sports injury with focal ecchymosis and suspected right testicular rupture; while ultrasound remains primary, plain radiography of the right testicle may be used adjunctively to identify foreign bodies or characterize calcified hematoma components before deciding on surgical exploration. Typical codes: BV050ZZ
