Documentation issues: The term septic shock is occasionally documented without the term sepsis in the chart. If septic shock is documented, A41. 9 and R65. 21 can be coded.
d. 1. a, instruct us to “assign the appropriate code for the underlying systemic infection, if the type of infection or casual organism is not further specified, assign code A41. 9, Sepsis, unspecified organism.”
ICD-10 code R78. 81 for Bacteremia is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
To identify patients with possible Gram-negative bacteremia in the NPR, we used diagnoses of “septicemia/sepsis due to other Gram-negative organisms” (ICD-10 code A41. 5).
The code for septic shock cannot be assigned as a principal diagnosis. For septic shock, the code for the underlying infection should be sequenced first, followed by code R65. 21, Severe sepsis with septic shock or code T81.
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 Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) of non-infectious origin without acute organ dysfunction R65.
General symptoms and signs. Symptoms and signs specifically associated with systemic inflammation and infection(R65)
Septic shock – Code first the underlying systemic infection, such as 038.0 (Streptococcal septicemia), then code 995.92 for severe sepsis, then code 785.52 for septic shock and finally assign the code for the specific type of organ failure inherent to septic shock, such as 584.9 for acute renal failure.
The coding of severe sepsis requires a minimum of two codes: first a code for the underlying systemic infection, followed by a code from subcategory R65. 2, Severe sepsis. If the causal organism is not documented, assign code A41. 9, Sepsis, unspecified organism, for the infection.
