My thought was that it would go to DRG 853 with sepsis (MRSA septicemia 03811 and 99591 was coded) as the PDX. When I asked about it I was told "that everything that was wrong with this patient stemmed from the diabetes, including osteomyelitis and cellulitis/non-healing ulcer growing staph aureus which led to the sepsis.

The primary diagnosis of L97. 522 is appropriate based on what you stated is documented of the wound appearance and measurements. With the detail from the x-ray, add a secondary diagnosis of acute osteomyelitis billed under ICD-10 code M86. 18 (other acute osteomyelitis, other site) since you also stated osteomyelitis.

A: You are correct that there is an assumed relationship between diabetes and osteomyelitis when both conditions are present, unless the physician indicates the acute osteomyelitis is totally unrelated to the diabetes. It does not matter if the osteomyelitis is acute, chronic, or unspecified.
If you sequence “diabetic osteomyelitis” as the principle diagnosis you get ICD-10 Code E11. 69 and still classify the patient as an endocrine patient.
ICD-10 code E10. 621 for Type 1 diabetes mellitus with foot ulcer is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases .
ICD-10 Code for Other acute osteomyelitis, right ankle and foot- M86. 171- Codify by AAPC.
Diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO) is mostly the consequence of a soft tissue infection that spreads into the bone, involving the cortex first and then the marrow. The possible bone involvement should be suspected in all DFUs patients with infection clinical findings, in chronic wounds and in case of ulcer recurrence.
There are three subcategories for reporting this condition using ICD-10-CM, including M86. 0 Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis, M86. 1 Other acute osteomyelitis, and M86. 2 Sub-acute osteomyelitis.

Osteomyelitis is inflammation or swelling that occurs in the bone. It can result from an infection somewhere else in the body that has spread to the bone, or it can start in the bone — often as a result of an injury. Osteomyelitis is more common in younger children (five and under) but can happen at any age.

For example, if the record indicates a history of osteomyelitis and there is another possible cause of osteomyelitis, such as an infection due to a pressure ulcer or tuberculosis or typhoid. Another example might be if a patient has a complicated history including diabetes.
Secondary diabetes is diabetes or glucose intolerance that develops from disorders or conditions other than type 1 or type 2 diabetes or gestational diabetes. Secondary diabetes may bring out primary diabetes in people who are predisposed to developing primary diabetes.
This infection occurs predominantly in children and is often disseminated via the blood stream (hematogenously). In adults, osteomyelitis is usually a subacute or chronic infection that develops secondary to an open injury to bone and surrounding soft tissue.
Regarded as the most common reason for hospital stays among people with diabetes, a diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is an open sore caused by neuropathic (nerve) and vascular (blood vessel) complications of the disease. Typically located on the plantar surface, or bottom/top of toes, pad of foot, or heel of foot, these complex, ...
According to the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), approximately 15 percent of people with diabetes suffer from foot ulcers. Of those who develop a foot ulcer, about 6 percent will be hospitalized due to serious infections or other ulcer-related complications.
L97.91 -Non-pressure chronic ulcer of unspecified part of right lower leg. L97.92 – Non-pressure chronic ulcer of unspecified part of left lower leg. According to the American Podiatric Medical Association, about 14 to 24 percent of Americans with diabetic foot ulcers have amputations.
The most common risk factors for ulcer formation include – diabetic neuropathy, structural foot deformity, kidney disease, obesity and peripheral arterial occlusive disease. The condition can be effectively prevented if the underlying conditions causing it are diagnosed early and treated correctly.
Half shoes, therapeutic shoes, custom insoles, and the use of felted foam are other alternative methods to off-load wounds located on the forefoot. Dressings– Wounds and ulcers heal faster and have a lower risk of infection if they are kept covered and moist, using dressings and topically-applied medications.
The risk of foot ulceration and limb amputations increases with age and duration of diabetes. In the United States, about 82,000 amputations are performed each year on persons with diabetes; half of those ages 65 years or older. Treatment for diabetic foot ulcers varies depending on their causes.
Neuropathic ulcers– occur where there is peripheral diabetic neuropathy, but no ischemia caused by peripheral artery disease. This type of foot infection generally occurs on the plantar aspect of the foot under the metatarsal heads or on the plantar aspects of the toes.
A “diabetic foot ulcer,” which is caused exclusively by hyperglycemia, in the absence of neuropathy or ischemia, is a rarity. That term almost always refers to an ulcer on the foot of a diabetic that derives from neuro/ischemic etiology, as opposed to being strictly and principally due to pressure injury.
Pressure injuries with skin breakdown are considered pressure ulcers. An additional L89 code specifies the stage (depth of tissue injury) and the anatomical site. Pressure ulcers form in sites that experience shear or pressure, typically in tissue overlying bony prominences such as elbows, the sacrum, hips, or heels.
After 10 years, ~90 percent of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics have some degree of neuropathy, most commonly affecting the feet and legs, and 90 percent of diabetic foot ulcers have diabetic neuropathy as a contributing factor. If the diabetic doesn’t recognize discomfort due to nerve impairment, they may not adjust their shoes ...
The American Podiatric Medical Association adds that “ (diabetic foot) ulcers form due to a combination of factors , such as lack of feeling in the foot, poor circulation, foot deformities, irritation (such as friction or pressure), and trauma, as well as duration of diabetes .”. They go on to note that “vascular disease can complicate a foot ulcer, ...
Pressure ulcers are deemed patient safety indicators and hospital acquired conditions because a concerted program for prevention and treatment can prevent them and protect our patients from iatrogenic harm. The diagnosis of a “pressure ulcer” may trigger prevalence and incident reporting.
Heel ulcers, however, are usually a consequence of a pressure injury, although it is also possible to have another mechanism cause a non-pressure injury involving the heel. Diabetes may accelerate or complicate the injury. Neuropathy results in malum perforans pedis (a.k.a. bad perforating foot) ulcers.
There are medical diagnoses that predispose patients to develop secondary conditions. Diabetes mellitus is a pervasive endocrinopathy whereby hyperglycemia affects every organ and system in the body, including the nerves and blood vessels. It makes a patient more prone to infection and poor healing.
Acute osteomyelitis is an inflammation of the bone caused by an infectious organism. The condition develops rapidly during the course of several days. It is characterized by localized pain, soft-tissue swelling, and tissue warmth at the site of the infection, plus systemic symptoms such as fever, irritability, fatigue, and nausea.
Chronic multifocal osteomyelitis is a rare condition that also is referred to as chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis, or SAPHO syndrome (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis). The cause of the condition is unknown, and tissue cultures typically fail to identify any infectious organism.
As with all infectious processes in which the infectious agent is not a component of the code that describes the condition, an additional code from categories B95-B97 should be assigned to identify the infectious agent, assuming it can be identified. Any major osseous defects also should be identified with a code from subcategory M89.7.
Multiple sites. Other osteomyelitis (M86.8) which includes Brodie’s abscess, requires only the general region (shoulder, upper arm, forearm, hand, thigh, lower leg, ankle/foot, other site, and unspecified site). Laterality is not a component of codes in category M86.8. Unspecified osteomyelitis (M86.9) is not specific to a site.
Osteomyelitis is an inflammation of the bone that typically is further differentiated as acute, sub-acute, or chronic. In ICD-9-CM, documentation of the general site of the inflammation/infection (such as shoulder region, forearm, or ankle), along with identification of the inflammation/infection as a current acute/sub-acute infection or a chronic condition, is all that is required to assign the most specific code.
Chronic osteomyelitis is a severe, persistent inflammation/infection that can recur and be difficult to treat. A chronic infection also may present with a draining sinus, presenting a greater risk for complications, such as major bo ny defects.
