Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a cause of staph infection that is difficult to treat because of resistance to some antibiotics. Staph infections—including those caused by MRSA—can spread in hospitals, other healthcare facilities, and in the community where you live, work, and go to school.
Main codes: The two main MRSA ICD-10 codes are A49. 02 and B95. 62. One of these two codes is usually listed first when a patient is treated for an MRSA infection.
What's the diagnosis in ICD-10? Bacteremia – Code R78. 81 (Bacteremia).
Clinically, the physician may not be differentiating the diagnoses as two different things, even though coding does. Now, bacteremia is the principal diagnosis, it won't change your DRG, though it could certainly affect quality concerns and medical necessity.
Coding tips: According to ICD-10-CM guideline I.B. 4, if bacteremia is associated with a local infection, code first the local infection, followed by the code for bacteremia, and then the infectious organism.
Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) is a serious cause of bloodstream infection associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
Avoid coding unspecified UTI (N39.0) when specific site infection is mentioned. For example if both cystitis and UTI are mentioned it is not necessary to code UTI, instead code only cystitis. Urosepsis – This does not lead to any code in the alphabetic index.
Urinary Tract infection (UTI) is a very common infectious disease occurs commonly in aged women. As age goes up there will be structural changes happening in kidney. Muscles in the bladder, urethra and ureter become weaken. Urinary retention gets increased in the bladder and this creates an environment for bacterial growth.
Infection can happen in any part of the urinary tract – kidney, ureter, bladder or urethra. It is called as Cystitis, Urethritis and Pyelonephritis based on the site.
Urethritis. It is not necessary to mention the infectious agent when using ICD N39.0. If the infectious organism is mentioned, place the UTI code primary and organism secondary. Site specified infection should be coded to the particular site. For example, Infection to bladder to be coded as cystitis, infection to urethra to urethritis.

Patient was at home receiving routine aftercare for a wound and a Z48 code was used. Patient readmitted to hospital because wound dehisced and became infected. Treated in hospital and discharged home with antibiotics and orders for dressing changes. This is still active care and a 7th character of “A” is used.

UTIs can be treated effectively with antibacterial medications. However, UTIs can lead to sepsis especially in elderly patients or patients with compromised immune systems. Patients diagnosed with sepsis require immediate medical attention and are typically treated with intravenous fluids and antibiotics.
