H59.1 vs H59.2
H59.1 (Intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of eye and adnexa complicating a procedure) compared with H59.2 (Accidental puncture and laceration of eye and adnexa during a procedure), from the official CMS tabular data. Do not report these codes together: the official tabular list marks them Excludes1.
Can these codes be reported together?
No — do not report together. H59.1 carries an Excludes1 note covering H59.2: “intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of eye and adnexa due to accidental puncture or laceration during a procedure (H59.2-)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
