H59.363
BillablePostprocedural seroma of eye and adnexa following other procedure, bilateral
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A fluid collection (seroma) that develops after eye surgery or other medical procedures, occurring in both eyes. This is a complication where fluid accumulates in the surgical area rather than being reabsorbed normally.
Coding Tips
- •Verify the procedure that caused the seroma is documented and that it was NOT an ophthalmologic procedure (if it was an eye procedure, use H59.35- instead)
- •Confirm bilateral involvement is documented in the medical record before assigning this code; if only one eye is affected, use the unilateral code H59.361 or H59.362
