Postprocedural seroma of right eye and adnexa following an ophthalmic procedure

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

What This Code Means

A seroma is a collection of clear fluid that accumulates in the eye area after eye surgery. This code specifically indicates the fluid collection occurred on the right side following an ophthalmic (eye) procedure.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify the procedure documentation to confirm an ophthalmic procedure was performed and that seroma development is documented as a postprocedural complication
  • •Ensure laterality is correctly identified as right eye; if bilateral or left eye, use the appropriate H59.352 or H59.353 code instead
