I97.6

Postprocedural hemorrhage, hematoma and seroma of a circulatory system organ or structure following a procedure

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 4 more specific codes instead:

  • I97.61 Postprocedural hemorrhage of a circulatory system organ or structure following a circulatory system procedure (also a header)
  • I97.62 Postprocedural hemorrhage, hematoma and seroma of a circulatory system organ or structure following other procedure (also a header)
  • I97.63 Postprocedural hematoma of a circulatory system organ or structure following a circulatory system procedure (also a header)
  • I97.64 Postprocedural seroma of a circulatory system organ or structure following a circulatory system procedure (also a header)

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

  1. FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Postprocedural hemorrhage and hematoma of a circulatory system organ or structure following a procedure
  2. FY2017 Description revised Postprocedural hemorrhage and hematoma of a circulatory system organ or structure following a procedure Postprocedural hemorrhage, hematoma and seroma of a circulatory system organ or structure following a procedure
