Intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of an endocrine system organ or structure complicating other procedure

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

What This Code Means

Unexpected bleeding or blood collection in an endocrine gland (like thyroid or adrenal gland) that occurs during a surgical procedure other than endocrine surgery.

Coding Tips

  • •This code requires documentation of both the hemorrhage/hematoma AND the specific endocrine organ involved
  • •The 'complicating other procedure' indicates the surgery was not primarily on the endocrine system; verify the primary procedure code
