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

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group DV01 includes procedures performed to deliver beam radiation to structures in the testis. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when external beam radiation therapy is administered to the testis for treatment or palliation of disease. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS DV01 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Testis Beam Radiation Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve delivery of targeted beam radiation therapy to the testis within the male reproductive system to treat malignant or nonmalignant conditions. These treatments use external beam modalities directed at the testicular tissue and surrounding structures to achieve tumor control or symptom relief. Accurate ICD-10-PCS coding of these procedures ensures inpatient records reflect the specific radiation therapy delivered and supports appropriate payment and clinical documentation.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when external beam radiation is administered to the testis during an inpatient stay for definitive therapy, adjuvant treatment, or palliation. Select the code that best reflects the beam radiation procedure parameters and the anatomical target of the testis.

ICD-10-PCS Codes

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
DV010ZZ	Beam Radiation of Testis using Photons <1 MeV
DV011ZZ	Beam Radiation of Testis using Photons 1 - 10 MeV
DV012ZZ	Beam Radiation of Testis using Photons >10 MeV
DV013Z0	Beam Radiation of Testis using Electrons, Intraoperative
DV013ZZ	Beam Radiation of Testis using Electrons
DV014ZZ	Beam Radiation of Testis using Heavy Particles (Protons,Ions)
DV015ZZ	Beam Radiation of Testis using Neutrons
DV016ZZ	Beam Radiation of Testis using Neutron Capture

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A middle-aged man with newly diagnosed unilateral testicular seminoma is admitted for inpatient coordination of multimodality treatment after orchiectomy; radiation oncology delivers external beam radiation targeting the residual testicular bed and ipsilateral scrotal area as adjuvant therapy to reduce local recurrence risk. Because the treatment uses external photons of moderate energy for pelvic field coverage, the most applicable codes reflect photon beam therapy in the appropriate energy range. Typical codes: DV011ZZ, DV012ZZ
An elderly patient with metastatic germ cell tumor presents with progressive scrotal pain and a bulky testicular mass causing local symptoms; inpatient palliative external beam radiation is provided to the testis to reduce tumor burden and relieve pain when systemic therapy is insufficient or delayed. Electron beam therapy may be chosen for superficial palliation of the testicular surface, or high-energy photons can be used for deeper penetration depending on field depth. Typical codes: DV013ZZ, DV012ZZ
A patient hospitalized for intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) during a combined surgical procedure for recurrent testicular tumor receives a single-fraction, direct electron beam application to the testis at the time of surgery to sterilize microscopic residual disease. This scenario involves intraoperative delivery of electron beam radiation to the testis, making the intraoperative electron code the most appropriate. Typical codes: DV013Z0
