H59.113
BillableIntraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of eye and adnexa complicating an ophthalmic procedure, bilateral
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
This code describes bleeding that occurs during eye surgery on both eyes, where blood collects in or around the eye tissue as a complication of the surgical procedure. It indicates that the hemorrhage happened during the operation itself, not before or after.
Coding Tips
- •This code requires documentation that the hemorrhage occurred intraoperatively (during the procedure) and affected both eyes; verify the operative report clearly states bilateral involvement
- •Do not use this code if the bleeding occurred before surgery (preoperative) or after surgery (postoperative); those require different codes with different timing indicators
