BV01YZZPlain Radiography of Right Epididymis using Other Contrast

BV01YZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a plain radiography procedure on the right 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), BV02YZZ (left epididymis), BV03YZZ (prostate), BV05YZZ (right testicle), BV06YZZ (left testicle) and BV08YZZ (vasa vasorum).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded BV010ZZ (high osmolar) and BV011ZZ (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.
