ICD-10-PCS Code For Testicle, Left: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BV06 includes procedures performed to capture planar radiographic images of structures in the left testicle. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when plain radiography of the left testicle is performed to evaluate injury, mass, or other scrotal pathology. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BV06 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the imaging procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Testicle, Left Plain Radiography Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes plain radiography imaging of the left testicle using external ionizing radiation captured on a photographic or photoconductive plate. These procedures target the male reproductive system and specifically the left testicle to visualize anatomy or pathology. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding ensures the inpatient record reflects the imaging performed and supports correct case mix assignment and reimbursement.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when an inpatient plain radiograph is performed specifically of the left testicle using external ionizing radiation. Select the code when the imaging is documented in the record as a planar radiographic capture of the left testicle for diagnostic evaluation.

ICD-10-PCS Codes

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
BV060ZZ	Plain Radiography of Left Testicle using High Osmolar Contrast
BV061ZZ	Plain Radiography of Left Testicle using Low Osmolar Contrast
BV06YZZ	Plain Radiography of Left Testicle using Other Contrast

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged man is admitted from the emergency department with acute, severe left scrotal pain and swelling after a reported direct blow to the groin during a workplace injury. Concern for testicular fracture or hematoma prompts inpatient planar radiography of the left testicle with high osmolar contrast to better delineate the soft tissue disruption and identify extravasation. The imaging assists surgeons in determining need for urgent operative exploration. Typical codes: BV060ZZ
A young adult is scheduled for inpatient evaluation of a palpable left testicular mass discovered on outpatient exam; further characterization is needed as part of preoperative planning. A planned plain radiographic study of the left testicle using low osmolar contrast is performed to outline lesion margins and relation to surrounding structures when ultrasound findings were indeterminate. The imaging result contributes to the multidisciplinary decision about biopsy or orchiectomy. Typical codes: BV061ZZ
An older patient with a history of prior left scrotal surgery presents with persistent postoperative drainage and suspected fistula involving the left testicle. To evaluate for tract formation and contrast leakage, inpatient plain radiography of the left testicle is performed using another type of contrast agent documented in the record. The study defines the anatomy of the complication and guides further surgical management. Typical codes: BV06YZZ
