BV050ZZPlain Radiography of Right Testicle using High Osmolar Contrast

BV050ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the right testicle using a high osmolar 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 seminal vesiculogram, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.91).

For a different body part, codes include BV000ZZ (corpora cavernosa), BV010ZZ (right epididymis), BV020ZZ (left epididymis), BV030ZZ (prostate), BV060ZZ (left testicle) and BV080ZZ (vasa vasorum).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BV051ZZ (low osmolar) and BV05YZZ (other contrast).

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.
