ICD-10 Code H59.311 – Postprocedural hemorrhage of right eye and adnexa following an ophthalmic procedure (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H59.311 – Postprocedural hemorrhage of right eye and adnexa following an ophthalmic procedure
What it is
This code identifies bleeding affecting the right eye or nearby adnexal structures after an ophthalmic procedure. Use it when the record links the hemorrhage directly to a prior eye intervention.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical charted findings may include postoperative bleeding, blood in the operative field, or hemorrhage noted on exam after an eye procedure.
When to use this code
Use H59.311 when the provider documents postprocedural hemorrhage in the right eye or adnexa and clearly associates it with an ophthalmic procedure. It may apply after surgery, laser treatment, or another eye intervention if the bleeding is a complication of that procedure. Check documentation for laterality and causation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for spontaneous eye bleeding, trauma-related hemorrhage, or unspecified laterality. If the record does not confirm a postprocedural cause, check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify that the procedure and right-sided complication are both documented before assigning H59.311.
