ICD-10 Code H59.339 – Postprocedural hematoma of unspecified eye and adnexa following an ophthalmic procedure (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H59.339 – Postprocedural hematoma of unspecified eye and adnexa following an ophthalmic procedure
What it is
This code identifies a hematoma in the eye or nearby adnexal tissues that occurs after an ophthalmic procedure. Use it when the record documents postoperative bleeding or blood collection, but the exact eye structure is not specified.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings may include swelling, bruising, pain, or reduced visual function after surgery, but you should code only what is clearly documented.
When to use this code
Use H59.339 when the provider states that a hematoma developed after an eye procedure and does not name a more specific site. It fits postoperative complications involving unspecified eye and adnexa tissues. If the chart identifies a different complication or a more precise eye structure, choose the documented code instead.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for preexisting ocular hemorrhage, traumatic eye bleeding, or a postoperative condition that is not a hematoma. Check documentation if the note describes a different postoperative complication.
Coding tip
Look for the procedure note and postoperative complication wording; if the site is named, code more specifically.
