If the patient experiences an infection of a peripherally placed catheter, assign code 996.62, Infection and inflammatory reaction due to vascular device, implant, and graft. Code 996.62 includes arterial graft, arteriovenous fistula or shunt, infusion pump, and vascular catheter (arterial) (dialysis) (peripheral) (venous).
Infection and inflammatory reaction due to urinary catheter ICD-10-CM T83.511A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 698 Other kidney and urinary tract diagnoses with mcc 699 Other kidney and urinary tract diagnoses with cc
Infection Due to Indwelling Catheter Infection due to an indwelling urinary catheter is assigned to code 996.64. As with all infections in the presence of a device, there must be a cause-and-effect relationship documented.

211 for Bloodstream infection due to central venous catheter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
For a hemodialysis catheter, the appropriate code is Z49. 01 (Encounter for fitting and adjustment of extracorporeal dialysis catheter). For any other CVC, code Z45. 2 (Encounter for adjustment and management of vascular access device) should be assigned.
0 Urinary tract infection, site not specified. Use additional code (B95-B98), if desired, to identify infectious agent.
ICD-10-CM Code for Infection and inflammatory reaction due to peritoneal dialysis catheter, initial encounter T85. 71XA.
ICD-10 code Z98. 890 for Other specified postprocedural states is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
2: Encounter for adjustment and management of vascular access device.
The ICD-9 code 599.0 is an unspecified urinary tract infection (ICD-10 N39. 0); each of the patients seen had the more specific diagnosis of acute cystitis (ICD-9 595.0), which has two codes in ICD-10: acute cystitis without hematuria (N30. 00), and acute cystitis with hematuria (N30. 01).
0: Urinary tract infection, site not specified.
CPT 87088, 87184, and 87186 may be used multiple times in association with or independent of 87086, as urinary tract infections may be polymicrobial. Testing for asymptomatic bacteriuria as part of a prenatal evaluation may be medically appropriate but is considered screening and, therefore, not covered by Medicare.
Infection due to an indwelling urinary catheter is assigned to code 996.64. As with all infections in the presence of a device, there must be a cause-and-effect relationship documented.
A tunneled catheter has two inner channels, one for removing the blood to the machine and the other for returning blood to the bloodstream. The catheter usually enters the skin below the collar bone (clavicle) and travels under the skin to enter the jugular vein, with its tip in the very large vein (the vena cava).

Infection and inflammatory reaction due to indwelling urethral catheter, initial encounter 1 T83.511A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 Short description: I/I react d/t indwelling urethral catheter, init 3 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM T83.511A became effective on October 1, 2020. 4 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of T83.511A - other international versions of ICD-10 T83.511A may differ.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
Unspecified infection due to central venous catheter 1 T80.219 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM T80.219 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of T80.219 - other international versions of ICD-10 T80.219 may differ.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
There are two major categories of infections due to central venous catheters: local and systemic . Local infections include exit or insertion site, port or reservoir, and tunnel infections. Systemic infections may be documented as central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs).
Because of the implications the presence of these codes may cause , it is vitally important that coders assign them accurately and consistently based on physician documentation and supportive clinical evidence in the medical record. It may be necessary to query the physician for clarification.
If a patient is admitted with an indwelling catheter and is noted to have a urinary tract infection (UTI), the coder should not assume a link between the catheter and the UTI. The physician must clearly document the causal relationship before code 996.64 can be assigned.
Coders should review the medical record carefully for the type of catheter (central vs. peripheral) and query the physician if necessary. It is appropriate to list as a secondary diagnosis the specific infection, if documented, such as sepsis.
It may be necessary to query the physician for clarification. Coding and sequencing for catheter infections are dependent on the physician documentation in the medical record and application of the Official Coding Guidelines for inpatient care.
