CCO Admin asked:
Question about coding Hematoma vs. hemorrhage as a post op complication. There was no mention of a hemorrhage in the op report. Are their guidelines for this?
POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS:
Left hip hematoma after hip revision
Their rational: ICD-10-CM: In the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index; locate Complication/surgical procedure/hematoma
