Q53.211

Billable

Bilateral intraabdominal testes

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

Both testicles are located inside the abdominal cavity rather than descending into the scrotum.

Coding Tips

  • •Intra-abdominal testes carry higher risk for malignancy and require close monitoring or surgical intervention
  • •Ensure documentation specifies bilateral involvement to justify this code rather than unilateral Q53.11
