The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.

Gram-negative sepsis, unspecified A41. 50 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 A41. 50 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Sepsis is defined as a systemic disease caused by microorganisms or their products in the blood. Bacteremia is the presence of viable organisms in the circulation. Gram negative bacteremia in the critically ill patient is synonymous with gram negative sepsis.

Bacteremia – Code R78. 81 (Bacteremia). 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.
Bacteria are the most common cause of sepsis. When bacteremia develops into septic shock there are no differences in outcomes based on the gram stain of the pathogen in the blood.
Gram negative bacteria can pass to the body from: Medical devices that pass into the body, such as IVs or catheters. Open wounds. Contact with someone who carries gram negative bacteria.
A large proportion of patients with severe sepsis are culture-negative. Culture-negative patients have fewer comorbidities and lower severity of illness than culture-positive patients. Culture-negative patients have a shorter hospitalization than culture-positive patients.
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.
Overview. Sepsis is a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when the body's response to an infection damages its own tissues. When the infection-fighting processes turn on the body, they cause organs to function poorly and abnormally. Sepsis may progress to septic shock.
81, Bacteremia, is a symptom code with an Exclude1 note stating it can't be used with sepsis and that additional documentation related to the cause of the infection, i.e., gram-negative bacteria, salmonella, etc., would be needed for correct code assignment.
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.
