L76.32 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. Short description: Postproc hematoma of skin, subcu following other procedure The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM L76.32 became effective on October 1, 2020.
Postprocedural hematoma of skin and subcutaneous tissue following other procedure. L76.32 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM L76.32 became effective on October 1, 2019.
If he created a new pocket after draining the hematoma and implanted the pace in the new pocket we assign 33222. But if it was an evacuation of the hematoma from the same pocket the pace was implanted in and then pace is placed back in the same pocket we code 10140.
We often use the revision of pocket 33222-33223, due to the fact that the generator has to be removed and then put back into a nice clean pocket, which often is more work then a I & D of a hematoma. You would need 78 modifer also. I have present this question before at a seminar and they did recommend these codes for this type of scenario.
3 for Postprocedural hematoma and seroma of skin and subcutaneous tissue following a procedure is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue .
The physician documents an evacuation of a hematoma by incision from the right breast, post-excisional biopsy. Even though the term “evacuation” is not a root operation, it can be found in the alphabetical index as a main term. The sub-term “Hematoma” is listed under Evacuation followed by “see Extirpation.”
The ICD-10-PCS code will now be 00C40ZZ.
ICD-10-PCS procedure code 037J3ZZ Dilation of Left Common Carotid Artery, Percutaneous Approach assigned. ICD-10-PCS 037J3ZZ is on Table 8.1c. Medical record documentation indicates that mechanical thrombectomy attempted but unsuccessful. Select "Yes".
The 4 recognized surgical procedures to evacuate an intracerebral hematoma (ICH) are simple aspiration, craniotomy with open surgery, endoscopic evacuation, and stereotactic aspiration. Their use in clinical practice is inconsistent.
You would code just the 59151. Evacuation of fluids from the abdomen is included in any abdominal surgical procedure.

Encounter for surgical aftercare following surgery on the nervous system. Z48. 811 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Excision of Brain, Open Approach 00B00ZZ ICD-10-PCS code 00B00ZZ for Excision of Brain, Open Approach is a medical classification as listed by CMS under Central Nervous System and Cranial Nerves range.
Surgical thrombectomy is a type of surgery to remove a blood clot from inside an artery or vein. Normally, blood flows freely through your blood vessels, arteries, and veins.
CPT® Code 34421 - Venous Embolectomy/Thrombectomy, Direct or With Catheter - Codify by AAPC.
This would be reported with ICD-10-PCS code 0J990ZZ (Drainage of buttock subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach).
A Craniotomy for evacuation of intracranial haematoma is performed to remove a blood clot from around the surface of the brain. A cut is made in the skin over the site of the blood clot. A segment of skull bone is removed to allow the surgeon to view the brain. The firm outside lining of the brain will be opened.
Subdural evacuation is a surgical procedure to remove a subdural hematoma (SDH) – a pooling of blood on the brain. Subdural hematomas are categorized as acute, subacute, and chronic. An SDH may be caused by trauma but can also be spontaneous or may be caused by a procedure, such as lumbar puncture.
Haematomas should be evacuated usually by incision and drainage if the skin above the haematoma is or is likely to become vascularly compromised, this will avoid skin necrosis occurring over the haematoma.
(HEE-muh-TOH-muh) A pool of mostly clotted blood that forms in an organ, tissue, or body space. A hematoma is usually caused by a broken blood vessel that was damaged by surgery or an injury. It can occur anywhere in the body, including the brain.

The physician documents an evacuation of a hematoma by incision from the right breast, post-excisional biopsy. Even though the term “evacuation” is not a root operation, it can be found in the alphabetical index as a main term. The sub-term “Hematoma” is listed under Evacuation followed by “ see Extirpation.”.
As most of us have learned by now, the root-operation character in ICD-10-PCS defines the objective of the procedure. There are 31 root operations in the Medical and Surgical Section of ICD-10-PCS, and two of these are discussed below.
The letters OHCT following the last entry of the index indicate that the coder must find the appropriate PCS table labeled 0HC and the fourth character of T. (Note that only a portion of the actual table is provided below.)
As with ICD-9-CM guidelines, the same four cooperating parties approve the guidelines for ICD-10-PCS: the American Hospital Association (AHA), the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).
The PCS guidelines (A11) also state that physicians are not required to use the same terminology as is found in the PCS code descriptions. It is the coder’s responsibility to determine what the medical record documentation means in relation to the PCS definitions.
