Undescended testicle, unspecified, bilateral. Q53.20 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM Q53.20 became effective on October 1, 2018.
These are very commonly used for Peripheral angiography. There are two CPT® codes for extremity angiogram, code 75710 and 75716. These are mostly used with Non-selective study of abdominal aortogram. The coded 75710 is used for unilateral and 75716 are used for bilateral study of extremity angiogram.

1, 2020: 54640 (Orchiopexy, inguinal approach, with or without hernia repair) will change to 54640 (Orchiopexy, inguinal or scrotal approach).
An orchidopexy is an operation that brings a non-descended testicle/s, down into the scrotum. An orchidopexy can be done on one or both sides. When both testicles are brought down this is called a bilateral orchidopexy.
Orchidopexy (OR-kid-o-pex-ee) is a surgery to move a testicle that has not descended or moved down to its proper place in the scrotum. If a testicle has not completely descended by about 8 months of age, it is unlikely to ever descend on its own and an orchidopexy is needed.
Undescended testes or cryptorchidism describes the incomplete descent of one or both testes from the abdomen through the inguinal canal, with a resultant absence from the scrotum. It may be bilateral in up to 30% of cases.
54640CPT code 54640 (Orchiopexy, inguinal approach, with or without hernia repair) clearly states that hernia repair is included.
Orchiopexy (or orchidopexy) is a surgery to move an undescended (cryptorchid) testicle into the scrotum and permanently fix it there. Orchiopexy typically also describes the surgery used to resolve testicular torsion.
Orchiopexy (say "OR-kee-oh-peck-see") is a type of surgery. It fixes a problem called testicle torsion. This happens when a testicle twists and the cord that supplies blood to your testicle also twists. Then blood can no longer flow to the testicle.
Surgical correction (Orchidopexy) Orchidopexy is a surgical procedure that moves an undescended testicle into the scrotum. The operation is performed to reduce the risk of crush injury, correct the associated hernia, and/or alleviate the psychological concerns of having only one testicle visible in the scrotum.
The surgeon carefully manipulates the testicle into the scrotum and stitches it into place (orchiopexy). This procedure can be done either with a laparoscope or with open surgery....Monitoring might include:Physical exams.Ultrasound exams of the scrotum.Tests of hormone levels.
ICD-10 code Q53. 2 for Undescended testicle, bilateral is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities .
An orchiopexy is an outpatient procedure that takes place in the hospital and requires general anesthesia. Pediatric urologic surgeons at NYU Langone are experienced in performing this surgery in boys as young as 6 months old. During the procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision in the groin or scrotum.
The ideal timing for surgical correction of undescended testes (orchidopexy) has been considered in a number of fora, which have resulted in a range of consensus statements/guidelines stating that orchidopexy should ideally be performed between 6 and 12 months of age, or 18 at the very latest [1-3].

The following crosswalk between ICD-10-PCS to ICD-9-PCS is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
There are several Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code changes that urologists should understand that will be effective January 1, 2020, including changes to the orchiopexy code, new codes for biofeedback (with elimination of the old code), a new Category III code Transurethral ablation of malignant prostate tissue by high-energy water vapor thermotherapy with a new parenthetical to CPT 53854, and four new Category III codes for Percutaneous implantation or replacement of integrated single device neurostimulation system including electrode array and receiver or pulse generator.
Background: A new Category III code 0582T has been established for reporting transurethral ablation of malignant prostate tissue by high-energy water vapor thermotherapy, including intraoperative imaging and needle guidance. Parenthetical notes have been added to provide guidance on the appropriate reporting of code 0582T. Currently, code 53854 is used to report the indirect application of radiofrequency (RF) energy in the form of water vapor thermotherapy to ablate prostate tissue. New code 0582T is used to report transurethral ablation of malignant prostate tissue by high-energy water vapor thermotherapy, including intraoperative imaging and needle guidance. Exclusionary parenthetical notes were added restricting the use of code 0582T with other codes in the CPT code set.
