About the CV1 Code Range
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging (CV1) refers to a diagnostic technique that captures two-dimensional images of organs using radionuclide tracers. This procedure is categorized under the Nuclear Medicine section and focuses on visualizing physiological functions rather than anatomical structure alone.
Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging is particularly useful for assessing the Male Reproductive System. The provided codes detail specific applications, such as imaging of the bilateral testicles using Technetium 99m (Tc-99m) (code CV191ZZ) or other radionuclides (codes CV19YZZ and CV1YYZZ). These codes emphasize the modality's role in functional imaging by highlighting the type of radionuclide used and the precise anatomical focus. Accurate coding of these procedures supports clear documentation of planar nuclear medicine imaging within the male reproductive system for diagnostic assessment.
Questions About This Page
How many billable codes are in the CV1 range?
Of the 4 codes in this range, 3 are billable and valid for inpatient claim submission from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. Table header codes group them but cannot be reported on claims.
What does the CV1 range classify?
The range classifies Planar Nuclear Medicine Imaging procedures, introduction of radioactive materials into the body for single plane display of images developed from the capture of radioactive emissions, performed on the male reproductive system. Each code adds the body part, approach, device, and qualifier in characters four through seven, and links to its own reference page.
