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. A41.9

Question – How do you code a patient who is admitted with sepsis from influenza with pneumonia? Answer – Assign code A41.
ICD-10-CM Code for Influenza due to other identified influenza virus with other respiratory manifestations J10. 1.
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. 9 (Sepsis, unspecified organism) for septicemia with no further detail.
According to AHA Coding Clinic® (Vol. 1, No. 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.
If sepsis develops during the hospital stay, both the systemic infection code and the 995.91 code should be sequenced as secondary diagnoses. Severe sepsis is defined as SIRS due to an infection that progresses to organ dysfunction, such as kidney or heart failure.

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.
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.
Other instances when sepsis would not be selected as the principal diagnosis, even if it was POA include the scenario where sepsis is the result of a condition which is classified as a “medical complication” (such as being due to an indwelling urinary catheter or central line.
Acute viral infection involving the respiratory tract; marked by inflammation of the nasal mucosa, the pharynx, and conjunctiva, and by headache and severe, often generalized, myalgia. An acute viral infection in humans involving the respiratory tract.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J11.1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
An acute viral infection of the respiratory tract, occurring in isolated cases, in epidemics, or in pandemics; it is caused by serologically different strains of viruses (influenzaviruses) designated a, b, and c, has a 3-day incubation period, and usually lasts for 3 to 10 days.
Flu almost never causes an upset stomach. And "stomach flu" isn't really flu at all, but gastroenteritis.most people with the flu recover on their own without medical care. People with mild cases of the flu should stay home and avoid contact with others, except to get medical care.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM A41.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Bacteremia . Bacteremia is a lab finding of infectious organisms in the blood. The patient has no clinical signs of sepsis or SIRS. Bacteremia may be transient, or may lead to sepsis. When a patient’s blood cultures are positive and not believed to be a contaminant, the patient is usually treated with antibiotics.
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: 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.
term “sepsis” must also be documented to code a systemic infection. This is a major change from ICD-9-CM. If the term “sepsis” is not documented with “SIRS” when it’s due to a localized infection, you must ask for clarification from the physician.
Documentation issues: The term “septic shock” is occasionally documented without the term “sepsis.”. According to the guidelines, for all cases of septic shock the code for the underlying systemic infection is sequenced first, followed by R65.21 Severe sepsis with septic shock or T81.12- Postprocedural septic shock.
Sepsis means potentially fatal condition caused when the body responses to the presence of infection or organisms in the blood. Choose the appropriate “A” code from the alphabetical index to indicate sepsis with type of infection or causal organism, if the doctor documents “Sepsis with type of infection or causal organism”.
Severe sepsis with septic shock: Septic shock means severe sepsis associated with circulatory failure. Assign the code in the same above format (severe sepsis) as it represents the type of acute organ dysfunction. But here, we will report a code R65.21 (which indicates severe sepsis with septic shock) instead of R65.20 (severe sepsis).
If the doctor documents “Sepsis” but the type of infection or causal organism is not specified, then will assign the A41.9 code, which indicates Sepsis, unspecified organism.
When a patient has an exacerbation of COPD with influenza A, bacterial pneumonia, this scenario should be coded using J10.08 (influenza with specified pneumonia); J44.0 (COPD with lower respiratory infection); J15.9 (bacterial pneumonia); and J44.1 (exacerbation of COPD). The sequencing will be dependent on the patient’s presentation to the facility.
COPD with emphysema should be coded as J43.9 (emphysema), as emphysema is a form of COPD. Note: The Index has been updated to reflect that emphysema is a specified form of COPD. A physician must document a relationship between any acute organ failure and sepsis.
If the patient has COPD with acute exacerbation of asthma (unspecified), the case should be coded with J44.9 (COPD) and J45.901 (unspecified asthma with acute exacerbation) to fully describe the patient’s condition.
The coder can’t assume a relationship between sepsis and acute organ failure/dysfunction. Organ dysfunction/failure is needed to assign the code for severe sepsis. The coder can’t apply the recent changes to the coding guidelines regarding “with” and sepsis. Uncertain Diagnosis.
