ICD-10 Code H59.322 – Postprocedural hemorrhage of left eye and adnexa following other procedure (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H59.322 – Postprocedural hemorrhage of left eye and adnexa following other procedure
What it is
This code identifies bleeding involving the left eye or nearby adnexal structures that occurs after a procedure. Use it when the hemorrhage is a documented postoperative complication, not the expected course of healing.
Clinical signs
Clinical features may include visible ocular bleeding, subconjunctival hemorrhage, or other documented postoperative blood loss affecting the left eye region. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H59.322 when the record clearly states postprocedural hemorrhage in the left eye or adnexa after a procedure such as surgery or another intervention. Code it only when the provider links the bleeding to the procedure and specifies the left side.
If the note describes postoperative bleeding but does not identify the eye side or location, check documentation before assigning this code. Verify that the event is a complication rather than routine postoperative drainage or expected bruising.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for hemorrhage unrelated to a procedure, or when the bleeding is in the right eye or bilateral and a different code applies. Check documentation if the site or cause is unclear.
Coding tip
Confirm three elements in the note: postprocedural cause, left eye/adnexa location, and hemorrhage as the complication.
