ICD-10 Code I97.62 – Postprocedural hemorrhage, hematoma and seroma of a circulatory system organ or structure following other procedure (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I97.62 – Postprocedural hemorrhage, hematoma and seroma of a circulatory system organ or structure following other procedure
What it is
This code identifies bleeding, hematoma, or seroma affecting a circulatory system organ or structure after a procedure. Use it when the complication is documented as postprocedural and not part of the expected healing process.
Clinical signs
Findings may include postoperative swelling, bruising, localized pain, drainage, or evidence of internal bleeding near the treated vascular or cardiac site. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use I97.62 when the record clearly links the hemorrhage, hematoma, or seroma to a prior procedure involving the circulatory system. The documentation should show that this is a postprocedural complication rather than a preexisting condition. If the note names the specific procedure and complication, code it accordingly.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for routine postoperative discomfort, uncomplicated healing, or bleeding unrelated to a circulatory system procedure. Check documentation if the site or cause of the collection is unclear.
Coding tip
Code the complication only when the provider explicitly documents a postprocedural relationship and the affected circulatory structure is identified.
