Billable

Unilateral inguinal testis

What This Code Means

A testicle on one side that has not descended and is located in the inguinal canal (the passage in the groin).

Coding Tips

  • •This is the most common location for undescended testicles; verify inguinal location is documented
  • •Inguinal undescended testicles may be candidates for orchiopexy (surgical correction); document treatment plan
