L76.0 — Intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of skin and subcutaneous tissue complicating a procedure
Is L76.0 billable?
No — L76.0 is a non-billable header code. L76.0 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 2 billable codes beneath L76.0.

Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with L76.0 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of skin and subcutaneous tissue due to accidental puncture and laceration during a procedure (L76.1-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 12
The conditions below are not part of L76.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, L76.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
- certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
- complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
- congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
- endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
