A41.9Septicemia – There is NO code for septicemia in ICD-10. Instead, you're directed to a combination 'A' code for sepsis to indicate the underlying infection, such A41. 9 (Sepsis, unspecified organism) for septicemia with no further detail.

3, p. 4), when a patient has SIRS and a localized infection, sepsis can no longer be coded and an ICD-10-CM code for sepsis cannot be assigned unless the physician specifically documents sepsis.Jun 1, 2021
According to the guidelines above, sepsis would be the appropriate principal diagnosis if it is the reason the patient is admitted, and meets the definition of principal diagnosis.Dec 5, 2016
fragilis] as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere. B96. 6 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
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.

When sepsis is present on admission and due to a localized infection (not a device or post procedural), the sepsis code is sequenced first followed by the code for the localized infection.
Patients with devices, implants or grafts often develop sepsis due to the presence of the device. The link MUST be made by the physician. If this link is not made, or there is conflicting documentation, a query is necessary to clarify the cause and effect relationship. When looking in the ICD-10-CM alphabetic index, there are entries under Sepsis—due to for arterial graft to ventricular shunt. The most common graft/device/implant infections are found in hemodialysis, vascular, and urinary patients. This typically occurs due to skin organisms, but this is not always the cause. The coder must read the documentation carefully to help in determining the type of device, implant or graft that is infected.

In 2016, researchers and clinical experts published the consensus for a Sepsis -3 definition, stating: Sepsis should be defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection.
A medical consensus on SIRS and Sepsis was published in 1991-1992 (Referred to as Sepsis 1), the SIRS criteria included two or more of the following (keep in mind that each patient is different so the signs/symptoms will vary): Fever/Temperature >38°C or <36°C (some research states >38.3°C) Tachycardia/Heart rate >90/min.
