E36.0Intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of an endocrine system organ or structure complicating a procedure

E36.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of an endocrine system organ or structure complicating a procedure. It belongs to category E36 (intraoperative complications of endocrine system), block E36 (intraoperative complications of endocrine system) and chapter 4 (endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within E36 (intraoperative complications of endocrine system), E36.0 is specifically for intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of an endocrine system organ or structure complicating a procedure. Related codes cover accidental puncture and laceration of an endocrine system organ or structure during a procedure (E36.1) and other intraoperative complications of endocrine system (E36.8).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: E36.01 (procedure) and E36.02 (procedure).

Don't report E36.0 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of an endocrine system organ or structure due to accidental puncture or laceration during a procedure (E36.1-).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
