BV02YZZPlain Radiography of Left Epididymis using Other Contrast

BV02YZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the left epididymis using an other contrast approach with none (qualifier: none). In ICD-10-PCS, plain radiography means planar display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on photographic or photoconductive plate.

In plain terms, this corresponds to contrast epididymogram and other x-ray of epididymis and vas deferens, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (87.93 and 87.95).

For a different body part, codes include BV00YZZ (corpora cavernosa), BV01YZZ (right epididymis), BV03YZZ (prostate), BV05YZZ (right testicle), BV06YZZ (left testicle) and BV08YZZ (vasa vasorum).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BV020ZZ (high osmolar) and BV021ZZ (low osmolar).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
