Intraop hemor/hemtom of eye and adnexa comp an opth proc, bi

This code signifies the occurrence of bleeding or a collection of blood within the eye or its surrounding structures that develops during an ophthalmic surgical procedure. This complication affects both eyes.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates intraoperative hemorrhage or hematoma of the eye or adnexa occurring bilaterally during an ophthalmic procedure. The operative report or surgeon's notes should specify the complication and its timing relative to the surgery.

• Always sequence this code after the primary ophthalmic procedure code.
• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "intraoperative" and "bilateral" for accurate code assignment.
• Distinguish from postoperative hemorrhage/hematoma (H59.12-) or those not complicating a procedure (H05.2-).
