CCI component 2 codes - what was done
Procedure: Control of Bleeding
CCI 2 code: 13
CCI Collection Mode: CCI collect each

This procedure is a part of CCI Collection. This is one of the CCI component 2 codes - what was done.

Additional Info

  • Use ONLY this code among the "what was done" part of CCI when constructing a procedure from components that is to control bleeding
    • Thus, includes doing so by ANY/ALL methods -- e.g. surgically, embolization, banding (e.g. of varices), etc.
    • So, use this code, not any of the other CCI components for "what was done" -- e.g. Occlusion or Repair
    • If not actively bleeding see Occlusion or Repair
  • This identifies efforts to control bleeding, not remove or evacuate blood or a hematoma or clot.
  • To create a CCI code to indicate procedure to control bleeding from components -- combine this code PLUS the "body part" code -- for control of bleeding esophageal varices combine it with (T) Esophagus


Does this code include continuous bladder irrigation for hematuria/bleeding from bladder? This involves a three way foley and foleys are not coded so seeking clarification whether this would be combined with bladder (T) or not coded at all? Thanks! Pamela Piche 15:26, 2022 April 21 (CDT)

(enter links to ICD10 codes that would likely go with this CCI procedure, but only in case of close relation, ie not every dx that might require this procedure)
