ICD-10 code R65. 21 for Severe sepsis with septic shock is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
The coding of severe sepsis requires a minimum of two codes: first a code for the underlying systemic infection, followed by a code from subcategory R65. 2, Severe sepsis. If the causal organism is not documented, assign code A41. 9, Sepsis, unspecified organism, for the infection.
Bacterial sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body's response to an infection injures its tissues and organs. Sepsis is caused by conditions that threaten the functional integrity of the host such as microbial invasion.
Bacteremia – Code R78. 81 (Bacteremia). Septicemia – 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.
Overview. Sepsis is a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when the body's response to an infection damages its own tissues. When the infection-fighting processes turn on the body, they cause organs to function poorly and abnormally. Sepsis may progress to septic shock.
21 Severe sepsis with septic shock.
(Septic shock cannot occur without sepsis and severe sepsis being present). You would need to add codes for the underlying condition (local infection) as well as codes for the organ dysfunction resulting from the sepsis that support the presence of severe sepsis.
ICD-10 code R57. 9 for Shock, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
sepsis. Septic shock is a severe complication of sepsis that can include very low blood pressure, an altered mental state, and organ dysfunction. It has a hospital mortality rate of 30–50 percent , making it very dangerous if not treated quickly.
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.
A41.81 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of sepsis due to enterococcus. The code A41.81 is valid during the fiscal year 2022 from October 01, 2021 through September 30, 2022 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.

Systemic disease associated with the presence of pathogenic microorganisms or their toxins in the blood. The presence of pathogenic microorganisms in the blood stream causing a rapidly progressing systemic reaction that may lead to shock. Symptoms include fever, chills, tachycardia, and increased respiratory rate.
Urosepsis . Clinical Information. (sep-sis) the presence of bacteria or their toxins in the blood or tissues. A disorder characterized by the presence of pathogenic microorganisms in the blood stream that cause a rapidly progressing systemic reaction that may lead to shock.
Post-procedural Sepsis and Sepsis Due to a Device, Implant, or Graft. A systemic infection can occur as a complication of a procedure or due to a device, implant, or graft. This includes systemic infections due to wound infection, infusions, transfusions, therapeutic injections, implanted devices, and transplants.
For instance, if severe sepsis, pneumonia, and acute renal failure due to dehydration are documented, the code for severe sepsis may not be assigned because the acute renal failure is not stated as due to or associated with sepsis. If the documentation is unclear, query the physician.
The discharge diagnoses were influenza with pneumonia bacterial superinfection, positive for pseudomonas, as well as acidosis, asthma exacerbation, hypoxemia, and chronic bronchitis. Sepsis and SIRS were not mentioned on the discharge summary, and are mentioned only sporadically throughout the progress notes.
If the patient has severe sepsis, add R65.2- with the codes for specific organ dysfunctions.
You must query the physician when the term “sepsis syndrome” is documented as a final diagnosis. Know when to Query. Sepsis is a complicated condition to code, and it is often necessary to query the physician to code the case correctly.
Documentation issues: Often, a patient with a localized infection may exhibi t tachycardia, leukocytosis, tachypnea, and fever, but not truly have SIRS or sepsis. These are typical symptoms of any infection. It’s up to the physician’s clinical judgment to decide whether the patient has sepsis or SIRS.
Documentation issues: You can code for sepsis when the physician documents the term “sepsis.”. Documentation should be consistent throughout the chart. Occasionally, during an extended length of stay, sepsis may resolve quickly and the discharging doctor may not include the diagnosis of sepsis on the discharge summary.
