What This Code Means

E89.823 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for postprocedural seroma of an endocrine system organ or structure following other procedure. A fluid collection (seroma) that develops in or around an endocrine gland after a non-endocrine surgical procedure. E89.823 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (e00-e89), within the section covering postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders, not elsewhere classified (e89).

E89.823 is a billable ICD-10-CM code, but no current CMS-HCC V28 community payment mapping is shown, and none under the ESRD, Part D RxHCC, or HHS-HCC models. Do not assign risk adjustment value from this page when no source-backed mapping is shown; verify the applicable model and payment year.

Seroma differs from hematoma in that it contains serous fluid rather than blood.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for E89.823 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
