• T84.5-, T84.6-, T84.7- Infection and inflammatory reaction d/t internal joint prosthesis (hip, knee, humerus, radius, femur, tibia, spine, other) remains under MMTA_Infect. • Coding experts stated that there are other codes that should be used if there is a WOUNDassociated with the infection, such as T81.31xD (dehiscence).

A subcapsular hematoma of the liver is an accumulation of blood between Glisson's capsule and the liver parenchyma; rupture into the peritoneum has a 75% mortality rate [1, 2]. The hematoma is usually located around the right lobe of the liver (in 75% of patients).
An abdominal hematoma can be intrabdominal or an abdominal wall hematoma. Abdominal wall hematoma usually results from bleeding inside the muscle layers of the abdominal wall, most commonly the vascular rectus muscle. A known category of this hematoma is rectus sheath hematoma.
ICD-10-CM Code for Postprocedural hematoma of skin and subcutaneous tissue following other procedure L76. 32.
A bruise, also known as a contusion, typically appears on the skin after trauma such as a blow to the body. It occurs when the small veins and capillaries under the skin break. A hematoma is a collection (or pooling) of blood outside the blood vessel.
ICD-10-CM Code for Contusion of right lower leg, initial encounter S80. 11XA.
Abstract. Soft-tissue hematomas are a common clinical entity often associated with trauma, surgery, and bleeding disorders. In the majority of cases, soft-tissue hematomas acutely appear and spontaneously resolve, but sometimes, they present as swellings that slowly expand and progressively increase with time.
The majority of acute subdural hematoma (SDH) occur due to head trauma, and nontraumatic or “spontaneous” acute SDH is rare, which is caused by various etiologies such as cortical artery bleeding, vascular lesions, coagulopathy, neoplasms, spontaneous intracranial hypotension, cocaine, and arachnoid cyst.
3 Post traumatic wound infection, not elsewhere classified along with appropriate infectious agent code (if present) and external cause codes. Infected haematoma of surgical wound should be coded: T81. 0 Haemorrhage and haematoma complicating a procedure, not elsewhere classified T81.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I97.631 became effective on October 1, 2021.
I97- Intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of circulatory system, not elsewhere classified
Now, let’s look at code R58, Hemorrhage, not elsewhere classified (NEC) (which means there is enough documentation but there is not a specific code). Included under this code is also Hemorrhage, not otherwise specified (NOS) (which means there is not enough documentation to select a more specific code), and this condition is not considered by CMS to be either a CC/MCC as a secondary diagnosis. However, if it is the principal diagnosis, it would lead you to DRG 316-Other Circulatory System Diagnoses without CC/MCC, which has a GMLOS of 2 days and a RW of 0.7401. If my math is correct, there is a difference in reimbursement of about $500.
Retroperitoneal hematoma is defined as one resulting from retroperitoneal hemorrhage. Retroperitoneal hemorrhage and retroperitoneal hematoma are often used synonymously (which I find a bit confusing), defined as an accumulation of blood found in the retroperitoneal space.
A: Hemoperitoneum is defined as the presence of blood in the peritoneal cavity that accumulates in the space between the inner lining of the abdominal wall and the internal abdominal organs. Code K66.1, Hemoperitoneum (Hematoperitoneum), qualifies as an MCC as a secondary diagnosis. As the principal diagnosis, it leads to DRG 395-Other Digestive System Diagnoses without CC/MCC with a geometric length of stay (GMLOS) of 2.4 and a relative weight (RW) of 0.6746. Because this DRG is a triplet, the final level could be determined based on the presence of a condition defined by CMS to be either a CC or MCC.
