ICD-10 code L03. 90 for Cellulitis, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue .
ICD-10 Code for Unspecified bacterial pneumonia- J15. 9- Codify by AAPC.
ICD-10-CM, as it does in ICD-9-CM. Septic shock is combined into code R65. 21. Example: A patient is admitted with cellulitis and abscess of the left leg, severe sepsis, septic shock, and acute renal failure and encephalopathy due to the sepsis.
9: Fever, unspecified.
ICD-10 Code for Pneumonia, unspecified organism- J18. 9- Codify by AAPC.
The final diagnosis is sepsis due to pneumonia. In this case, since the sepsis was present on admission and due to the underlying infection of pneumonia, the coder would sequence sepsis (A41. 9-Sepsis unspecified organism) as the PDX and pneumonia (J18. 9-Pneumonia, unspecified organism) as a SDX code.
L03.311 – Cellulitis of abdominal wall.L03.312 – Cellulitis of back [any part except buttock]L03.313 – Cellulitis of chest wall.L03.314 – Cellulitis of groin.L03.315 – Cellulitis of perineum.L03.316 – Cellulitis of umbilicus.L03.317 – Cellulitis of buttock.L03.319 – Cellulitis of buttock, unspecified.
How should we report SIRS due to pneumonia? Answer: Assign only code J18. 9, Pneumonia unspecified organism.
The code for septic shock cannot be assigned as a principal diagnosis. For septic shock, the code for the underlying infection should be sequenced first, followed by code R65. 21, Severe sepsis with septic shock or code T81.

Sepsis, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), and septicemia have historically been difficult to code. Much of the confusion has been due to changing terminology, evolving definitions, and guideline updates over the past 20 years.
To help you steer clear of compliance issues, be sure your sepsis and SIRS coding is as current as possible by using the most up-to-date medical coding books. To help with claims processing efficiency, you can quickly search across medical coding sets using a keyword or a code by using AAPC Coder , the fastest and most comprehensive code search engine on the planet and add much more..
The ICD code L03 is used to code Cellulitis. Cellulitis is a bacterial infection involving the inner layers of the skin. It specifically affects the dermis and subcutaneous fat. Signs and symptoms include an area of redness which increases in size over a couple of days.
Lymphatic vessels may occasionally be involved, and the person may have a fever and feel tired. Specialty: Infectious Disease. MeSH Code: D002481. ICD 9 Code: 682.9. Skin cellulitis. Source: Wikipedia.
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code L03.90 and a single ICD9 code, 682.9 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
