ICD-10 Code H59.313 – Postprocedural hemorrhage of eye and adnexa following an ophthalmic procedure, bilateral (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H59.313 – Postprocedural hemorrhage of eye and adnexa following an ophthalmic procedure, bilateral
What it is
This code identifies bleeding involving both eyes or nearby adnexal structures after an ophthalmic procedure. Use it when the record clearly links the hemorrhage to the eye surgery or procedure.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical charted findings may include postoperative ocular bleeding, blood in the operative area, or a documented hemorrhagic complication affecting both sides.
When to use this code
Use H59.313 when the provider documents bilateral postprocedural hemorrhage as a complication of an eye procedure. It is appropriate for postoperative notes, discharge summaries, or follow-up visits that confirm the bleeding is procedure-related. Check documentation if laterality or causation is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for spontaneous eye bleeding, trauma-related hemorrhage, or hemorrhage unrelated to an ophthalmic procedure. If the record does not confirm bilateral involvement, check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify both the postoperative cause and bilateral laterality before assigning H59.313.
