ICD-10-PCS Code For Corpora Cavernosa: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BV10 includes procedures performed to image structures in the corpora cavernosa using fluoroscopy. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when real-time fluoroscopic imaging of the corpora cavernosa is performed, often to guide diagnostic or interventional procedures. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BV10 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the imaging modality and body part imaged which determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Corpora Cavernosa Fluoroscopy Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes fluoroscopic imaging procedures that target the corpora cavernosa within the male reproductive system. These procedures use real-time display of images produced by external ionizing radiation and may include storage of images by digital or analog means. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding for these imaging procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific body part imaged and the imaging modality used, which affects case mix and payment.

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
BV100ZZ	Fluoroscopy of Corpora Cavernosa using High Osmolar Contrast
BV101ZZ	Fluoroscopy of Corpora Cavernosa using Low Osmolar Contrast
BV10YZZ	Fluoroscopy of Corpora Cavernosa using Other Contrast
BV10ZZZ	Fluoroscopy of Corpora Cavernosa

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged man is admitted after penile trauma with persistent priapism and suspicion for corporal body injury; urology plans a diagnostic fluoroscopic cavernosography to evaluate for tunical tears and intracavernous vascular disruption prior to surgical repair. Real-time fluoroscopy is used with contrast injected into the corpora cavernosa to delineate anatomy and identify extravasation or venous leaks guiding operative management. Images are stored as part of the inpatient record. Typical codes: BV100ZZ
An outpatient scheduled admission for erectile dysfunction evaluation is converted to inpatient observation for diagnostic workup; the team performs pharmacologic stimulation with intracavernosal injection followed by fluoroscopic cavernosography to assess arterial inflow and venous leak as part of preoperative planning for vascular reconstruction. Low osmolar contrast is used to optimize image quality while minimizing patient symptoms, and fluoroscopic images are recorded for interpretation and surgical planning. Typical codes: BV101ZZ
A patient with prior penile implant and persistent postoperative seepage into the corpora cavernosa presents with suspected fistula formation; diagnostic fluoroscopic imaging of the corpora cavernosa is performed using an alternative contrast agent due to prior contrast allergy and to identify the site of communication before revision surgery. Real-time fluoroscopy documents the leak and guides intraoperative decision-making, with images retained in the medical record. Typical codes: BV10YZZ
