ICD-10 Code H59.113 – Intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of eye and adnexa complicating an ophthalmic procedure, bilateral (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H59.113 – Intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of eye and adnexa complicating an ophthalmic procedure, bilateral
What it is
Use this code for bleeding or a hematoma involving both eyes or nearby adnexa that occurs during an ophthalmic procedure. It identifies a surgical complication, not the underlying eye disease.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical notes may describe active intraoperative bleeding, blood collection, or unexpected hemorrhage in both eyes or adnexal structures during surgery.
When to use this code
Assign H59.113 when the record states that bilateral hemorrhage or hematoma occurred during an ophthalmic procedure. Use it when the complication is documented as intraoperative and affects both sides. Check documentation if the laterality or timing is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for postoperative bleeding, unilateral complications, or hemorrhage unrelated to an ophthalmic procedure. If the note does not confirm bilateral involvement, check documentation before coding.
Coding tip
Code the complication only when the surgeon documents it as occurring intraoperatively and bilateral.
