E.Coli sepsis due to UTI, E.Coli UTI due to indwelling catheter. UTI ICD 10 codes for this scenario would be: T83.511A – Infection due to indwelling catheter A41.51 – E.coli sepsis
Avoid coding unspecified UTI (N39.0) when specific site infection is mentioned. For example if both cystitis and UTI are mentioned it is not necessary to code UTI, instead code only cystitis.
For example if both cystitis and UTI are mentioned it is not necessary to code UTI, instead code only cystitis. Urosepsis – This does not lead to any code in the alphabetic index.

A41. 51 (Sepsis due to Escherichia coli), and N39. 0 (Urinary tract infection, site not specified) would be reported as additional diagnoses.
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).
The most frequent cause of acute cystitis is an infection of the bladder caused by the bacterium E. coli. Bacteria that cause UTIs typically enter the urethra and then travel up to the bladder. Once in the bladder, the bacteria stick to the bladder wall and multiply.
ICD-10 diagnosis codes used to identify these visits included cystitis [N30], acute cystitis [N30. 0, N30. 00, N30. 01], other chronic cystitis [N30.

Avoid coding unspecified UTI (N39.0) when specific site infection is mentioned. For example if both cystitis and UTI are mentioned it is not necessary to code UTI, instead code only cystitis. Urosepsis – This does not lead to any code in the alphabetic index.
Infection can happen in any part of the urinary tract – kidney, ureter, bladder or urethra. It is called as Cystitis, Urethritis and Pyelonephritis based on the site.
Urinary Tract infection (UTI) is a very common infectious disease occurs commonly in aged women. As age goes up there will be structural changes happening in kidney. Muscles in the bladder, urethra and ureter become weaken. Urinary retention gets increased in the bladder and this creates an environment for bacterial growth.
Urethritis. It is not necessary to mention the infectious agent when using ICD N39.0. If the infectious organism is mentioned, place the UTI code primary and organism secondary. Site specified infection should be coded to the particular site. For example, Infection to bladder to be coded as cystitis, infection to urethra to urethritis.
N30.0 is a non-billable ICD-10 code for Acute cystitis. It should not be used for HIPAA-covered transactions as a more specific code is available to choose from below.
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically.
The UTI code is sequenced first, followed by the organism. E. Coli is a common organism causing UTIs and is reported with code 041.4.
Code 599.0, Urinary tract infection, site not specified, should be assigned only if the physician has not identified or is unable to identify the site of the UTI.
If the documentation indicates that the UTI has progressed to sepsis, code 038.X should be assigned first, then code 995.91, Sepsis, followed by the appropriate UTI code. In this instance sepsis indicates that the UTI has entered the bloodstream and becomes a generalized sepsis. The systemic infection, sepsis, should be sequenced before the localized infection, UTI.
If the post-operative UTI is linked to the procedure, two codes are required; 997.5, Complications affecting specified body systems, urinary complications, and the appropriate UTI code. If the causative organism is identified it is also coded.
Urinalysis may show significant bacteriuria, often accompanied by proteinuria, hematuria and pyuria. Urine or catheter culture reveals growth of >100,000 colonies of a single organism. Blood work may reveal neutrophilic leukocytosis and positive blood culture, especially if the infection involves the upper urinary tract. White blood cell shows count of >10,000.
A UTI is a bacterial infection of any part of the urinary tract. When bacteria get into the urinary tract and multiply in the urine, they cause a UTI. Predisposing factors for urinary tract infection include calculi or other urinary tract obstruction, foreign bodies such as stents or catheters, congenital urinary anomalies, pregnancy, diabetes mellitus and neurogenic bladder. Women are approximately 10 times more likely to develop a UTI than men.
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are a serious health problem affecting millions of people each year. Infections of the urinary tract are the second most common type of infection in the body. Only upper respiratory tract infections (colds and flu) happen more often. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), catheter-associated UTIs are the most common hospital-acquired infection, accounting for more than 1 million cases in hospitals and nursing homes nationwide. With the implementation of MS-DRG, the importance of coding MCCs and CCs, and the inclusion of catheter-associated UTIs as an initial preventable hospital-acquired condition, correct coding and assignment of UTIs is more important than ever.
