H95.2Intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of ear and mastoid process complicating a procedure

H95.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of ear and mastoid process complicating a procedure. It belongs to category H95 (intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of ear and mastoid process, not elsewhere classified), block H95 (intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of ear and mastoid process, not elsewhere classified) and chapter 8 (diseases of the ear and mastoid process). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within H95 (intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of ear and mastoid process, not elsewhere classified), H95.2 is specifically for intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of ear and mastoid process complicating a procedure. Related codes cover recurrent cholesteatoma of postmastoidectomy cavity (H95.0), other disorders of ear and mastoid process following mastoidectomy (H95.1), accidental puncture and laceration of ear and mastoid process during a procedure (H95.3), postprocedural hemorrhage of ear and mastoid process following a procedure (H95.4), postprocedural hematoma and seroma of ear and mastoid process following a procedure (H95.5) and other intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of the ear and mastoid process, not elsewhere classified (H95.8).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H95.21 (on the ear and mastoid process) and H95.22 (procedure).

Don't report H95.2 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of ear and mastoid process due to accidental puncture or laceration during a procedure (H95.3-).

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