E89.82Postprocedural hematoma and seroma of an endocrine system organ or structure

E89.82 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for postprocedural hematoma and seroma of an endocrine system organ or structure. 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 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within E89.8 (other postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders), E89.82 is specifically for postprocedural hematoma and seroma of an endocrine system organ or structure. Related codes cover postprocedural hemorrhage of an endocrine system organ or structure following a procedure (E89.81), 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: E89.820 (procedure), E89.821 (procedure), E89.822 (procedure) and E89.823 (procedure).

It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
