Video Transcription

To code yes for bleeding hematoma at access site, there must be documentation the patient experienced a hematoma at the percutaneous entry site as coded in sequence 7320 arterial  access site that was observed and documented in the medical record. Then once identified, there must be any one of the following, a hemoglobin drop of three  or more, a transfusion, or a procedural intervention or surgery at the bleeding site to reverse stop or correct the bleeding.  While there may be documentation that criteria one or two or three took place, when there is no documentation reflecting the patient experienced a hematoma at the percutaneous  entry site, this bleeding event would not be captured.
