Intra or Post-Procedure Event Types - Bleeding – Access Site

Video Summary

To code 'yes' for bleeding at the access site, it is necessary to have documentation of external bleeding at the access or percutaneous site. This should be followed by coding the arterial access site as 7320. Subsequently, a hemoglobin drop of three or more, a transfusion, or a procedural intervention/surgery at the bleeding site must be present to reverse/stop the bleeding. If there is no documented external bleeding at the access site, the bleeding event will not be captured, even if other criteria are met.
