Treatment
Unspecified sprain of right shoulder joint, initial encounter
Arthritis and polyarthritis due to other bacteria ICD-10-CM M00. 80 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 548 Septic arthritis with mcc.
511 – Pain in Right Shoulder. Code M25. 511 is the diagnosis code used for Pain in Right Shoulder.
Pyogenic, or septic, arthritis is a serious and painful infection of a joint. It is most often caused by bacteria, such as staphylococcus or streptococcus, but can also be caused by a fungus or virus.

Septic arthritis is an infection in the joint (synovial) fluid and joint tissues. Different types of bacteria, viruses, and fungi can infect a joint. Symptoms include fever, joint pain, swelling, redness, and warmth. Quick treatment with antibiotics is needed to halt the risk of joint damage.
Assign the correct diagnosis code: Bacterial septic arthritis, right knee. Answer: M00. 861 Arthritis, arthritic (acute) (chronic) (nonpyogenic) (subacute), septic (any site except spine) – see Arthritis, pyogenic or pyemic (any site except spine), bacterial NEC, knee.
Pyogenic, or septic, arthritis is a serious and painful infection of a joint. It is most often caused by bacteria, such as staphylococcus or streptococcus, but can also be caused by a fungus or virus.

M54. 2 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 M54.

Septic arthritis treatments include using a combination of powerful antibiotics as well as draining the infected synovial fluid from the joint. It's likely that antibiotics will be administered immediately to avoid the spread of the infection.
Pyogenic infections are characterized by local inflammation of skin, soft tissue and bodily parts which are mainly caused by invasion and multiplication of pathogenic microorganism. These pathogen releases certain cellular or toxic metabolites and leukocidins which destroy neutrophils forming abscess and pus.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors Tuberculous arthritis is caused by the bacteria, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A very small number of people who have TB will develop this form of arthritis. The joints most often involved are the: Ankles.
Some of the common etiological agents responsible for causing pyogenic infections are bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., Proteus spp., Pseudomonas spp., and Acinetobacter spp.

Polyarthritis – Arthritis of 5 or more joints is coded as polyarthritis instead of coding each joint arthritis.
Codes from M00.00 to M00.09 – Caused by Staphylococcus
Arthritis is the inflammation of one or many joints which causes common symptoms like stiffness and pain and these get worse when getting older. Treatment can help reducing symptoms, but arthritis cannot be cured totally. Most type of Arthritis can lasts for many years or can be there life long.
There are several different types of arthritis depending on the causal organism (Gonococcal, Pneumococcal, Streptococcal etc.), Infectious, Juvenile, due to some other disease and many other. Common types of arthritis found in medical records are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Primary Osteoarthritis – Wear and tear of the joint due to age.
M08.20 to M08.2A – Juvenile RA With systemic onset
Unspecified site – When not mentioned the anatomical site.
The provider documented septic shoulder. Sepsis due to infection is 995.91 which requires an organism first listed. The guidelines specify that if no organism is documented then code 038.9 first listed with 995.91 secondary.
Assessment is "shoulder joint pain, septic left shoulder joint." Pt is advised to go to ER for debridement and IV antibiotics. No treatment or labs are ordered.#N#Doc has chosen 719.41 (shoulder pain) as diagnosis, but I'm wondering if I need to code more specifically to address "septic," or if there is really enough information (e.g., organism) provided in this short SOAP note.#N#In the index, Infection, joint, leads me to 711.01...but does this cover sepsis, or does a sepsis diagnosis require more workup? How would you code this? (Newbie here, still learning lots!)
Sepsis always makes me cringe because of the reporting rules but 711 .01 does cover your septic joint and I would use that more specific code than the generic shoulder pain . The pain won' t cover the medical necessity for the IV antibiotics. Hopefully you will get others weighing in on this one. Good luck.
711.01 is Pyogenic arthritis of the shoulder. In your post arthritis is not mentioned only that there is an infection that indicates a septic shoulder. So no 711.01 is not a good code. Given what you provider for information you follow the guidelines and code the sepsis. If the provider then indicates that the shoulder has developed a progenic arthritis due to the sepsis then you follow the guidelines for sepsis with a localized infection where the 038.9 is first listed, the 995.91 is secondary and the 711.01 is third.
