About H59.323

H59.323 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for postprocedural hemorrhage of eye and adnexa following other procedure, bilateral. 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 billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within H59.32 (postprocedural hemorrhage of eye and adnexa following other procedure), H59.323 is specifically for postprocedural hemorrhage of eye and adnexa following other procedure, bilateral. Related codes cover right eye and adnexa following other procedure (H59.321), left eye and adnexa following other procedure (H59.322) and unspecified eye and adnexa following other procedure (H59.329).

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 919 (Complications of Treatment with MCC, relative weight 1.763), DRG 920 (Complications of Treatment with CC, relative weight 0.9975) and DRG 921 (Complications of Treatment without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.6722), in MDC 21 (Injuries, Poisonings and Toxic Effects of Drugs), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

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

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 998.11 (hemorrhage complicating a procedure).
