BV05YZZPlain Radiography of Right Testicle using Other Contrast

BV05YZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the right testicle 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 seminal vesiculogram, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (87.91).

For a different body part, codes include BV00YZZ (corpora cavernosa), BV01YZZ (right epididymis), BV02YZZ (left epididymis), BV03YZZ (prostate), BV06YZZ (left testicle) and BV08YZZ (vasa vasorum).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BV050ZZ (high osmolar) and BV051ZZ (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.
