Assessment is "shoulder joint pain, septic left shoulder joint." Pt is advised to go to ER for debridement and IV antibiotics. No treatment or labs are ordered.#N#Doc has chosen 719.41 (shoulder pain) as diagnosis, but I'm wondering if I need to code more specifically to address "septic," or if there is really enough information (e.g., organism) provided in this short SOAP note.#N#In the index, Infection, joint, leads me to 711.01...but does this cover sepsis, or does a sepsis diagnosis require more workup? How would you code this? (Newbie here, still learning lots!)

Sepsis always makes me cringe because of the reporting rules but 711 .01 does cover your septic joint and I would use that more specific code than the generic shoulder pain . The pain won' t cover the medical necessity for the IV antibiotics. Hopefully you will get others weighing in on this one. Good luck.
