Summary & Overview
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 revise devices or structures in the left testicle. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a clinical revision of the left testicle or an implanted device associated with the left testicle is performed. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS BV06 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and determines appropriate case mix and payment.

Typical Clinical Scenarios
- A middle-aged man presents to the emergency department after a blunt scrotal trauma from a sporting injury with severe unilateral left testicular pain, swelling, and concerns for testicular rupture or hematoma. He is admitted for urgent evaluation with scrotal ultrasound and planar radiographic imaging to assess integrity of the left testis and surrounding structures prior to operative decision-making; a planar display image is obtained to document and guide management. Typical codes:
BV060ZZ,BV061ZZ - A young adult male with a history of prior left orchiectomy for torsion presents electively for diagnostic imaging because of persistent chronic scrotal pain and a suspected retained testicular remnant or scar-related mass. As an inpatient for a planned workup due to failed outpatient imaging, planar imaging of the left scrotal region is performed to localize the remnant and characterize the lesion before possible reoperation. Typical codes:
BV061ZZ,BV06YZZ - An elderly patient with known left testicular malignancy is admitted for staging and treatment planning after newly discovered retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy; inpatient imaging is obtained to document baseline left testicular anatomy and any calcifications prior to systemic therapy. A planar display image of the left testicle is performed as part of the multimodality inpatient imaging assessment. Typical codes:
