Postproc hemor of left eye and adnexa fol other procedure

This code describes bleeding that occurs in the left eye or its surrounding structures (adnexa) as a complication of a surgical or diagnostic procedure other than cataract surgery. This hemorrhage is a direct consequence of the intervention and can manifest in various ocular tissues, such as the conjunctiva, sclera, or within the globe.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a postprocedural hemorrhage affecting the left eye or adnexa, and the preceding procedure was not a cataract extraction. This applies to scenarios like bleeding after glaucoma surgery, retinal detachment repair, or biopsy of an ocular lesion. Documentation should specify the laterality (left eye) and the causal link to a recent procedure.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "left eye" and confirms the hemorrhage is a direct complication of a non-cataract procedure.
• Sequence this code after the code for the underlying procedure if the hemorrhage is a complication of that procedure.
• Distinguish from H59.312 (postprocedural hemorrhage of left eye and adnexa following cataract surgery) and H59.332 (postprocedural hemorrhage of left eye and adnexa following other ophthalmic procedure).
