Male Reproductive System (BV) ICD-10-PCS
The BV body system covers Imaging procedures on male reproductive system, with 62 ICD-10-PCS codes across 5 root operations, 57 of them billable in fiscal year 2027. Each root operation defines a distinct procedural objective, and the info icons show the official definition with a preview of the codes inside.
Root Operations in This Body System 5 operations · 62 codes
| Chars 1–3 | Root Operation | Codes | Billable |
|---|---|---|---|
| BV0 | Plain RadiographyPlanar display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on photographic or photoconductive plate | 22 | 21 |
| BV1 | FluoroscopySingle plane or bi-plane real time display of an image developed from the capture of external ionizing radiation on fluorescent screen. The image may also be stored by either digital or analog means | 9 | 8 |
| BV2 | Computerized Tomography (CT Scan)Computer-reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of multiple exposures of external ionizing radiation | 8 | 7 |
| BV3 | Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)Computer reformatted digital display of multiplanar images developed from the capture of radio frequency signals emitted by nuclei in a body site excited within a magnetic field | 19 | 18 |
| BV4 | UltrasonographyReal time display of images of anatomy or flow information developed from the capture of reflected and attenuated high frequency sound waves | 4 | 3 |

About the BV Body System
These imaging codes show structures of the male reproductive system, including the prostate, penis, scrotum, testicles and epididymis. The body-part character distinguishes the right and left epididymis, and the right, left and bilateral testicles.
Plain radiography produces a flat image using radiation, while fluoroscopy displays radiation images in real time. CT combines radiation exposures into views from multiple planes. MRI uses radio signals in a magnetic field, and ultrasonography uses reflected sound waves to show anatomy or flow in real time.
Questions About This Page
How many codes are in the BV body system?
The BV body system contains 62 ICD-10-PCS codes in FY 2027, organized into 5 root operations. 57 of them are billable on inpatient claims.
What is a root operation?
The root operation is the third character of every ICD-10-PCS code and names the objective of the procedure. Drainage takes fluid out, Excision cuts out a portion of a body part, and Resection removes all of one. Picking the right root operation is the central skill of PCS coding, so each one above carries its official CMS definition.
