How is H59.35 listed in the Alphabetic Index?

These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to H59.35. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.

  • Complication › postprocedural › seroma › eye and adnexa › following ophthalmic procedure (s) (from) (of)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from H59

The conditions below can never be reported together with H59.35 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • mechanical complication of intraocular lens (T85.2)
  • mechanical complication of other ocular prosthetic devices, implants and grafts (T85.3)
  • pseudophakia (Z96.1)
  • secondary cataracts (H26.4-)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 7

The conditions below are not part of H59.35, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, H59.35 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
  • certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
