Sepsis following a procedure, initial encounter. T81.44XA is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. ICD-10-CM T81.44XA is a new 2019 ICD-10-CM code that became effective on October 1, 2018.
Postprocedural septic shock, initial encounter. T81.12XA is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM T81.12XA became effective on October 1, 2018.
In this case, since the sepsis was present on admission and due to the underlying infection of pneumonia, the coder would sequence sepsis (A41.9-Sepsis unspecified organism) as the PDX and pneumonia (J18.9-Pneumonia, unspecified organism) as a SDX code.
ICD 10 code for severe sepsis, septic shock with acute renal failure is A41.9, R65.21, N17.9 If the patient admitted for sepsis or severe sepsis and localized infection (pneumonia or cellulitis), then we need to sequence the code in the following below order.
Sepsis due to a postprocedural infection: For such cases, the postprocedural infection code should be coded first, such as: T80. 2, Infections following infusion, transfusion, and therapeutic injection, T81. 4, Infection following a procedure, T88. 0, Infection following immunization, or O86.
Expand Section. Septicemia is an infection in the bloodstream (also called bacteremia) that may travel to different body organs. GBS septicemia is caused by the bacterium Streptococcus agalactiae, which is commonly called group B strep, or GBS.
Streptococcal sepsis ICD-10-CM A40.
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.
Group A Strep bacteria can lead to mild infections such as strep throat, impetigo, sinusitis or ear infections. Occasionally, however, these bacteria can cause much more severe and life threatening diseases such as pneumonia, cellulitis and toxic shock syndrome which can lead to sepsis.
GBS bacteria can cause many types of infections: Bacteremia (bloodstream infection) and sepsis (the body's extreme response to an infection) Bone and joint infections.
Codes T81. 44 and O86. 04 are used to identify sepsis following a procedure.
Coding tips: According to the guidelines, for all cases of documented septic shock, the code for the underlying systemic infection (i.e., sepsis) should be sequenced first, followed by code R65. 21 or T81.

Most people make a full recovery from sepsis. But it can take time. You might continue to have physical and emotional symptoms.
Sepsis Survival Rates While most people recover from mild sepsis, the mortality rate for septic shock is approximately 40%. Additionally, a person who survives severe sepsis is at a higher risk of getting future infections.
Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) is a rare, but serious bacterial infection. STSS can develop very quickly into low blood pressure, multiple organ failure, and even death. Good wound care, hand hygiene, and cough etiquette are important for preventing this serious and often deadly disease.
Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM T81.12XA became effective on October 1, 2021.
For Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2019 the International Classification of Diseases 10th Edition, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) expanded code subcategories T81.4, Infection following a procedure, and O86.0, Infection of obstetrical surgical wound, to identify the depth of the post-procedural infection and a separate code to identify post-procedural sepsis.
SSIs are persistent and preventable healthcare-associated infections. There is increasing demand for evidence-based interventions for the prevention of SSI. Prior to the 2017 update, the last version of the CDC Guideline for Prevention of Surgical Site Infection was published in 1999.
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).
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”.
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.
The coding of severe sepsis requires a minimum of two codes: 1. Sequence first code for the underlying infection followed by a code from subcategory R65.2, severe sepsis. 2. If the causal organism is not documented assign code A41.9, sepsis, unspecified organism for the infection. 3.
Coding / sepsis due to post-procedural infection. As with all post-procedural complications, code assignment for sepsis due to a post-procedural infection is based on providers documentation of the relationship between the infection and the procedure. Coding / post-procedural infection. 1.
Sub: R65.2. Generally refers to sepsis with Associated acute or multiple organ dysfunction. Septic shock. Generally refers to circulatory failure associated with severe sepsis and therefore represents a type of acute organ dysfunction - provider must specify septic shock in order to code it as such.
Presence of bacteria in the bloodstream after a trauma or an infection. Sepsis. SIRS due to infection. A severe case indicates organ dysfunction. Septic shock. Circulatory failure associated with severe sepsis. Septicemia. A systemic disease associated with pathological microorganisms or toxins in the bloodstream.
R78.81. Refers to presence of bacteria in the bloodstream after trauma or mild infection - condition is usually transient. Urosepsis. A non-specific term and should not be considered synonymous with sepsis - has no default code in the alphabetic index - physician should be queried for clarification.
Septicemia. A systemic disease associated with pathological microorganisms or toxins in the bloodstream. SIRS. Systemic inflammatory response syndrome. A systemic response to infection or trauma with such symptoms as fever and tachycardia. Coding for HIV / AIDS is not allowed unless.
