ICD-10-PCS Code For Penis: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group BV4B includes procedures performed to image anatomy and flow information in the penis. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when real-time ultrasonography of the male reproductive system is performed to evaluate penile structures or blood flow. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BV4B group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Penis Ultrasonography Procedure Overview

This procedure group includes real-time ultrasonography of the penis using high-frequency sound waves to produce images of penile anatomy and blood flow, targeting the male reproductive system. Procedures in this group involve capture and display of reflected and attenuated sound waves to evaluate soft tissue structures and vascular flow. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding matters for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the specific imaging procedure performed and supports appropriate case mix and payment.

BV4BZZZ	Ultrasonography of Penis

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged man is admitted from the emergency department with acute penile pain and swelling after blunt trauma during a fall; concern for a tunica albuginea tear or intracavernosal hematoma prompts inpatient evaluation to assess tissue integrity and vascular flow before urologic decision-making. Real-time ultrasonography of the penis is performed at the bedside to visualize corporal bodies, identify hematoma versus fracture, and evaluate blood flow. Typical codes: BV4BZZZ
An adult patient with poorly controlled diabetes is hospitalized for sepsis and develops a progressively enlarging painful penile ulcer with surrounding cellulitis; the inpatient care team requests imaging to characterize soft tissue involvement and to guide surgical versus conservative management. Bedside penile ultrasonography is used to assess the depth of tissue involvement, presence of abscess or necrosis, and local vascularity to inform the plan of care. Typical codes: BV4BZZZ
A patient is admitted electively for evaluation of erectile dysfunction unresponsive to outpatient therapy and scheduled for comprehensive inpatient vascular assessment to measure penile blood flow dynamics under pharmacologic stimulation. During the admission, real-time Doppler ultrasonography of the penis is performed to document arterial inflow and veno-occlusive function as part of the diagnostic workup. Typical codes: BV4BZZZ
