The payer is correct - B95. 61 cannot be a primary diagnosis. Per the section B95-B97 guidelines in ICD-10: "These categories are provided for use as supplementary or additional codes to identify the infectious agent(s) in diseases classified elsewhere."
Staph infections are caused by staphylococcus bacteria. These types of germs are commonly found on the skin or in the nose of many healthy people. Most of the time, these bacteria cause no problems or cause relatively minor skin infections.
ICD-10 code R65. 21 for Severe sepsis with septic shock is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
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.
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.
Coding sepsis requires a minimum of two codes: a code for the systemic infection (e.g., 038. xx) and the code 995.91, SIRS due to infectious process without organ dysfunction. If no causal organism is documented within the medical record, query the physician or assign code 038.9, Unspecified septicemia.
ICD-10 code A41. 89 for Other specified sepsis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Certain infectious and parasitic diseases .
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.
MSSA, or methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, is an infection caused by a type of bacteria commonly found on the skin. You might have heard it called a staph infection. Treatment for staph infections generally requires antibiotics.
Main codes: The two main MRSA ICD-10 codes are A49. 02 and B95. 62. One of these two codes is usually listed first when a patient is treated for an MRSA infection.
A41.0 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of sepsis due to staphylococcus aureus. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2022 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th ...

Clinical Information. Infections with bacteria of the genus staphylococcus. Infections with bacteria of the genus staphylococcus; includes staphylococcal pneumonia, staph skin infections, furunculosis, carbuncle, impetigo, ritter disease, scalded skin syndrome, etc. Staph is short for staphylococcus, a type of bacteria.
The best way to prevent staph is to keep hands and wounds clean. Most staph skin infections are easily treated with antibiotics or by draining the infection. Some staph bacteria such as mrsa (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus) are resistant to certain antibiotics, making infections harder to treat.
skin infections are the most common. They can look like pimples or boils.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM A49.0 became effective on October 1, 2021.
You are more likely to get one if you have a cut or scratch, or have contact with a person or surface that has staph bacteria.
Sepsis associated with organ dysfunction distant from the site of infection.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R65.20 became effective on October 1, 2021.
For instance, if severe sepsis, pneumonia, and acute renal failure due to dehydration are documented, the code for severe sepsis may not be assigned because the acute renal failure is not stated as due to or associated with sepsis. If the documentation is unclear, query the physician.
Post-procedural Sepsis and Sepsis Due to a Device, Implant, or Graft. A systemic infection can occur as a complication of a procedure or due to a device, implant, or graft. This includes systemic infections due to wound infection, infusions, transfusions, therapeutic injections, implanted devices, and transplants.
Bacteremia . Bacteremia is a lab finding of infectious organisms in the blood. The patient has no clinical signs of sepsis or SIRS. Bacteremia may be transient, or may lead to sepsis. When a patient’s blood cultures are positive and not believed to be a contaminant, the patient is usually treated with antibiotics.
If the patient has severe sepsis, add R65.2- with the codes for specific organ dysfunctions.
You must query the physician when the term “sepsis syndrome” is documented as a final diagnosis. Know when to Query. Sepsis is a complicated condition to code, and it is often necessary to query the physician to code the case correctly.
Documentation issues: You can code for sepsis when the physician documents the term “sepsis.”. Documentation should be consistent throughout the chart. Occasionally, during an extended length of stay, sepsis may resolve quickly and the discharging doctor may not include the diagnosis of sepsis on the discharge summary.
term “sepsis” must also be documented to code a systemic infection. This is a major change from ICD-9-CM. If the term “sepsis” is not documented with “SIRS” when it’s due to a localized infection, you must ask for clarification from the physician.
