Erectile Dysfunction, With or Without Penile Deformity
This code covers erectile dysfunction, with or without penile deformity — neither element depends on the other being present. Under the code's note, a disease or traumatic injury of the penis that results in scarring or deformity is also rated here. The schedule lists a single evaluation for the code and it is 0 percent, so the percentage does not move with how severe the dysfunction is or how pronounced any deformity is. What the evidence has to establish is the diagnosis and how it connects to service, not a severity level.
