Postprocedural hematoma of a respiratory system organ or structure following a respiratory system procedure

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

What This Code Means

A collection of blood (hematoma) in a respiratory organ or structure that develops after a procedure performed on the respiratory system.

Coding Tips

  • •Differentiate from J95.830 (hemorrhage) by documenting that blood has collected/localized rather than actively bleeding
  • •Specify the location of the hematoma if documented (lung, trachea, etc.)
