Hemorrhage, not elsewhere classified
ICD-10 R58 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of hemorrhage, not elsewhere classified.
The ICD-10 code R58 refers to hemorrhage that is not classified elsewhere. This category encompasses various types of bleeding that do not fall under more specific codes, allowing healthcare providers to document instances of hemorrhage that may not have a clear etiology or specific classification. Conditions covered under this code can include spontaneous bleeding, bleeding due to trauma, or bleeding associated with other medical conditions that do not have a designated code. It is essential for clinicians to accurately identify and document the nature of the hemorrhage to ensure proper coding and billing practices.

R58 includes various types of hemorrhage that do not have a specific classification, such as spontaneous bleeding, trauma-related bleeding, or bleeding associated with other unspecified medical conditions.
R58 should be used when documenting instances of hemorrhage that are not classified under more specific codes, particularly when the cause of the bleeding is unclear or when it is associated with other conditions.
Documentation should include a clear description of the type of hemorrhage, any relevant clinical findings, and the context in which the bleeding occurred to support the use of R58.
