About E89.81

E89.81 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for postprocedural hemorrhage of an endocrine system organ or structure following a procedure. It belongs to category E89 (postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders, not elsewhere classified), block E89 (postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders, not elsewhere classified) 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 E89.8 (other postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders), E89.81 is specifically for postprocedural hemorrhage of an endocrine system organ or structure following a procedure. Related codes cover postprocedural hematoma and seroma of an endocrine system organ or structure (E89.82), postprocedural hypoglycemia following a procedure (E89.83) and other postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders (E89.89).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: E89.810 (procedure) and E89.811 (procedure).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015, and changed in FY2017 (title revised).
