H59.1Intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of eye and adnexa complicating a procedure

H59.1 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of eye and adnexa complicating a procedure. It belongs to category H59 (intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of eye and adnexa, not elsewhere classified), block H59 (intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of eye and adnexa, not elsewhere classified) and chapter 7 (diseases of the eye and adnexa). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within H59 (intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of eye and adnexa, not elsewhere classified), H59.1 is specifically for intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of eye and adnexa complicating a procedure. Related codes cover disorders of the eye following cataract surgery (H59.0), accidental puncture and laceration of eye and adnexa during a procedure (H59.2), postprocedural hemorrhage, hematoma, and seroma of eye and adnexa following a procedure (H59.3), inflammation (infection) of postprocedural bleb (H59.4) and other intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of eye and adnexa, not elsewhere classified (H59.8).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H59.11 (procedure) and H59.12 (procedure).

Don't report H59.1 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of eye and adnexa due to accidental puncture or laceration during a procedure (H59.2-).

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