G97.32
BillableIntraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of a nervous 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 the brain, spinal cord, or nerves that occurs during a surgical procedure that is not a nervous system surgery.
Coding Tips
- •This code is used when hemorrhage/hematoma occurs during non-neurological procedures (e.g., cardiac surgery, abdominal surgery) that inadvertently affects nervous system structures
- •Always verify the type of procedure performed and confirm it was not a primary nervous system procedure to distinguish from G97.31
