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

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.

FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Postprocedural hemorrhage and hematoma of a digestive system organ or structure following a procedure
FY2017 Description revised ~~Postprocedural hemorrhage and hematoma of a digestive system organ or structure following a procedure~~ Postprocedural hemorrhage of a digestive system organ or structure following a procedure
