ICD-10 Code H59.329 – Postprocedural hemorrhage of unspecified eye and adnexa following other procedure (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H59.329 – Postprocedural hemorrhage of unspecified eye and adnexa following other procedure
What it is
This code identifies bleeding in the eye or nearby adnexa that occurs after a procedure and is not further specified. Use it when the record documents postprocedural hemorrhage but does not name a more precise site.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical findings may include visible ocular bleeding, pain, redness, swelling, or decreased vision after an eye-related procedure.
When to use this code
Use H59.329 when the provider links hemorrhage to a prior procedure involving the eye or adnexa and the affected structure is not specified. It fits postoperative complication documentation such as “postprocedural hemorrhage” or “bleeding after surgery,” when no more detailed code is available. Check documentation for laterality and exact site before assigning this unspecified code.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for spontaneous ocular hemorrhage, trauma-related bleeding, or hemorrhage with a clearly specified eye structure if a more specific code applies. If the note does not confirm a postprocedural cause, check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm the complication is documented as procedure-related and unspecified before selecting H59.329.
