ICD-10 Code I97.620 – Postprocedural hemorrhage of a circulatory system organ or structure following other procedure (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I97.620 – Postprocedural hemorrhage of a circulatory system organ or structure following other procedure
What it is
This code identifies bleeding that occurs after a procedure involving a circulatory system organ or structure. Use it when the hemorrhage is a documented postoperative complication, not an expected finding.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical signs include bleeding at or near the procedure site, hematoma, or evidence of ongoing blood loss after the intervention.
When to use this code
Use I97.620 when the record clearly states postprocedural hemorrhage affecting a circulatory system organ or structure after another procedure. It applies whether the bleeding is immediate or delayed, as long as the complication is documented. Check documentation for the exact procedure and site.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for normal postoperative drainage, routine bruising, or hemorrhage unrelated to a procedure. If the site or relationship to the procedure is unclear, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the complication only when the provider links the hemorrhage to the procedure and identifies the circulatory system site.
