Atresia of nares (anterior) (posterior); Congenital stenosis of nares (anterior) (posterior) ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code J15.212 [convert to ICD-9-CM] Pneumonia due to Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus
The drug resistance is inherent in the MRSA code, and ICD-10-CM guidelines tell you to leave Z16.11 out. There are instances, however, when Z16.11 for staph infections is appropriate. When a newborn or neonate has MRSA pneumonia or MRSA sepsis, for example, the P code captures the staphylococcal infection, but not the penicillin resistance.

When an Excludes2 note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together. A “code also” note instructs that two codes may be required to fully describe a condition, but this note does not provide sequencing direction. The sequencing depends on the circumstances of the encounter.
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically.
There are instances, however, when Z16.11 for staph infections is appropriate. When a newborn or neonate has MRSA pneumonia or MRSA sepsis, for example, the P code captures the staphylococcal infection, but not the penicillin resistance. P36.39 Sepsis of newborn due to other staphylococci.
B95.62 Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere. The infection site is known, and reported secondarily (e.g., skin of the groin). One of these two codes usually is the first-listed code when a patient is treated for an MRSA infection.
Only one code is needed for sepsis; additional codes are reported to capture severe sepsis and accompanying organ failure.
Patients undergoing hospitalization or outpatient elective surgery usually are tested for colonization using a nasal swab. The cost of this test is bundled into the Medicare Severity-Diagnosis Related Groups payment, but the preventive value of the test makes it financially advantageous for facilities.
Never Report Z16.11 with the Four MRSA Codes. To do so would be redundant. Z16.11 Resistance to penicillins [Methicillin is a form of penicillin.] Many conditions require you to report MRSA with B95.62, and a second code to identify the site/type of infection, such as the skin site or specific heart valve.
A patient may have MRSA colonization and an active MRSA infection, in which case, code both conditions. Report this code anytime a true screening is performed, as for hospital admission or when a skin or other accessible infection site is suspect.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an infection caused by a certain strain of staph bacteria resistant to common antibiotics. Individuals are more prone to acquire MRSA while in the hospital for surgery or other treatment. Over the next few years, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) ...

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.
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.
