ICD-10 Code for Staphylococcal infection, unspecified site- A49. 0- Codify by AAPC.
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.
In the community (where you live, work, shop, and go to school), MRSA most often causes skin infections. In some cases, it causes pneumonia (lung infection) and other infections. If left untreated, MRSA infections can become severe and cause sepsis—the body's extreme response to an infection.
Severe sepsis with septic shock R65. 21 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R65. 21 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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.
Bacteremia is the presence of bacteria in the blood, hence a microbiological finding. Sepsis is a clinical diagnosis needing further specification regarding focus of infection and etiologic pathogen, whereupon clinicians, epidemiologists and microbiologists apply different definitions and terminology.
ICD-10-CM Code for Methicillin susceptible Staphylococcus aureus infection as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere B95. 61.

ICD Code A41.0 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the two child codes of A41.0 that describes the diagnosis 'sepsis due to staphylococcus aureus' in more detail. A41.0 Sepsis due to Staphylococcus aureus. NON-BILLABLE.
Specialty: Infectious Disease. MeSH Code: D018805. ICD 9 Code: 995.91. Blood culture bottles: orange label for anaerobes, green label for aerobes, and yellow label for blood samples from children.
The ICD code A41 is used to code Sepsis. Sepsis is a whole-body inflammatory response to an infection. Common signs and symptoms include fever, increased heart rate, increased breathing rate, and confusion. There may also be symptoms related to a specific infection, such as a cough with pneumonia, or painful urination with a kidney infection.
Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code A41.0 is a non-billable code.
A41.0 is a non-billable ICD-10 code for Sepsis due to Staphylococcus aureus. It should not be used for HIPAA-covered transactions as a more specific code is available to choose from below.
