I97.618 ICD-10-CM Code: Postprocedural hemorrhage of a circulatory system organ or structure following other circulatory system procedure

Billing Status: YES. This is a valid, specific, and billable ICD-10-CM reference.

Coding at a Glance

Tabular directives
2 Excludes2

Inpatient Payment Groups (MS-DRG)

Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.

MS-DRGs this diagnosis helps define, as principal or secondary, per the CMS ICD-10-CM/PCS MS-DRG Definitions Manual v43, Appendix B.

  • MS-DRG 919 — COMPLICATIONS OF TREATMENT WITH MCC (MDC 21)
  • MS-DRG 920 — COMPLICATIONS OF TREATMENT WITH CC (MDC 21)
  • MS-DRG 921 — COMPLICATIONS OF TREATMENT WITHOUT CC/MCC (MDC 21)

A diagnosis appearing in a group's logic does not by itself determine the DRG assigned to a stay; the grouper uses the full claim.

Coding instructions

Official Tabular Instructional Notes: the inclusion, exclusion and sequencing notes published for I97.618 in the official ICD-10-CM tabular list, quoted as published.

Notes without a marker are published on I97.618 itself; “inherited from” names the category or block whose note applies here.

Excludes2 — Not Included Here

Conditions not covered by this code, but which may be reported alongside it when both are present.

Documentation check

The provider’s diagnostic statement
Codes are assigned from the provider’s documented diagnosis, not from clinical criteria, test values or a medication list (Guidelines I.A.19).

    Coding workflow: The conditions named in this note are not included in I97.618. When the record documents both, both may be reported; the note is a boundary, not a prohibition.

Every row is derived from this code’s own record — its title, tabular notes, 7th-character family and same-category siblings — with fixed MedCoder wording; nothing is inferred about a patient. The official notes and guideline text are in the sections each row links to, and they control.

Code Overview

Postprocedural hemorrhage of a circulatory system organ or structure following other circulatory system procedure is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code (I97.618).

Indexed Clinical Terms (1)

Official source data — entries quoted as published, in the Index’s own lookup phrasing

Clinical term phrases from the official ICD-10-CM Index to Diseases and Injuries that map to this code. These are alphabetic-index entries shown as the Index writes them — lookup phrasing, not necessarily the wording of a final diagnosis.

Relationships & Classification

MedCoder structured relationships — computed from published CMS and AHRQ datasets

Other codes that name I97.618 or its code family, from the CMS ICD-10-CM tabular instructional notes. Tabular-note edges are stored at the code family level that carries each note.

Referenced by 10 Excludes2 notes: T80 — Complications following infusion, transfusion and therapeutic injection (via I97.-), T80-T88 — Complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified (T80-T88) (via I97.-), T81 — Complications of procedures, not elsewhere classified (via I97.-), T82 — Complications of cardiac and vascular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (via I97.-), T83 — Complications of genitourinary prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (via I97.-), T84 — Complications of internal orthopedic prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (via I97.-), T85 — Complications of other internal prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (via I97.-), T86 — Complications of transplanted organs and tissue (via I97.-), T87 — Complications peculiar to reattachment and amputation (via I97.-), T88 — Other complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified (via I97.-).

These codes’ tabular lists name this diagnosis as distinct — both may be reported when both are documented.

MS-DRG Grouper Relationships (FY2026)

Potential MS-DRG participation — not a DRG assignment.

CC — Complication or Comorbidity. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, this code raises the stay's MS-DRG severity tier — except when the principal diagnosis is one of 84 clinically related codes on its CMS exclusion list.

Named in the grouper logic of 3 MS-DRGs: DRG 919 (MDC 21), DRG 920 (MDC 21), DRG 921 (MDC 21).

From the CMS MS-DRG Definitions Manual (Appendices B and C). Actual DRG assignment depends on the complete claim.

Clinical classification (AHRQ CCSR):CIR038 — Postprocedural or postoperative circulatory system complication (default).

Same clinical process (MS-DRG)

Acts as CC — raises the severity of other admissions. CMS groups these diagnoses into one MS-DRG principal-diagnosis exclusion process — a CC/MCC on this list never raises severity when the principal diagnosis is also on it.
