This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
Bleeding from a respiratory organ or structure that occurs after a surgical or medical procedure that was not performed on the respiratory system itself.
Coding Tips
- •Use this code when respiratory bleeding occurs after non-respiratory procedures (e.g., cardiac surgery, abdominal surgery)
- •Ensure the procedure documented was not a respiratory system procedure to differentiate from J95.830
