What's the diagnosis in ICD-10? Bacteremia – Code R78. 81 (Bacteremia).
If a patient is admitted because of bacteremia, it should be the principal diagnosis even though bacteremia is a symptom code, because it is the condition that occasioned the admission.
Bacteremia is the presence of bacteria in the blood, hence a microbiological finding. Sepsis is a clinical diagnosis needing further specification regarding focus of infection and etiologic pathogen, whereupon clinicians, epidemiologists and microbiologists apply different definitions and terminology.
If septic shock is documented, A41. 9 and R65. 21 can be coded.

It is often transient and of no consequence; however, sustained bacteremia may lead to widespread infection and sepsis. The ICD-10-CM code for bacteremia, R78.81, can be found in Chapter 18, Symptoms, Signs, and Abnormal Clinical and Laboratory Findings.
When a patient has sepsis with evidence of organ dysfunction, this is known as severe sepsis, and it is classified in ICD-10-CM either with the code R65.20, severe sepsis without septic shock, or R65.21, severe sepsis with septic shock. According to the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, an acute organ dysfunction must be associated with the sepsis in order to assign the severe sepsis code. If the clinical documentation is not clear as to whether acute organ dysfunction is related to the sepsis or another medical condition, querying the provider is recommended.
Sepsis can be defined as the presence of both an infection and a systemic inflammatory response. The clinical features include two or more of the SIRS criteria occurring as a result of a suspected or documented infection, taking into consideration the entire clinical picture of the patient. In the ICD-10-CM world, in order to accurately reflect ...
The coding of severe sepsis requires a minimum of two codes. The first code will identify the underlying systemic infection, followed by a code from subcategory R65.2, severe sepsis. The codes for severe sepsis from subcategory R65.2 can never be assigned as a principal diagnosis.
However, keep in mind that because bacteremia is classified in the signs and symptom chapter, if a related definitive diagnosis is established by a provider, that definitive diagnosis either would be coded alone or sequenced first, depending on whether the bacteremia was considered an integral part of the disease process.
The ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting indicate quite clearly that urosepsis is a nonspecific term that is not synonymous with sepsis. There is no default code for urosepsis in ICD-10-CM, and the provider must be queried for clarification when this term is documented. However, based on the recently published American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) recommendations regarding diagnosis options for providers, the options available in such a case must be clinically significant and reasonable, as supported by clinical indicators in the health record. A statement of urosepsis should not automatically generate a clarification for sepsis if there are no clinical indicators, risk factors or treatment documented to substantiate a clinical diagnosis of sepsis.
