B95.2 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of enterococcus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis. DRG Group #867-869 - Other infectious and parasitic diseases diagnoses with MCC.
A41.81 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of sepsis due to Enterococcus. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Enterococcus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere 1 Enterococcus infection. 2 Enterococcus urinary tract infection. 3 Infection due to enterococcus. 4 Infection due to vancomycin resistant enterococcus. 5 Urinary tract infection due to enterococcus. 6 ... (more items)
Common E. faecalis infections include urinary tract infections (UTIs), wound infections, intra-abdominal and pelvic infections, bacteremia (infection in the blood), and endocarditis (inflammation of the heart). If these infections become systemic (widespread), they can cause serious to life-threatening symptoms.
Enterococcus as the cause of diseases classified elsewhere B95. 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 B95. 2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10 code: U80. 30 Enterococcus faecium with resistance to glycopeptide antibiotics.

Enterococcus faecalis is a gram-positive bacterium that can cause a variety of nosocomial infections of which urinary tract infections are the most common. These infections can be exceptionally difficult to treat because of drug resistance of many E. faecalis isolates.
Enterobacter species are members of the ESKAPE group (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species), which are described as the leading cause of resistant nosocomial infections (7, 10, 11, 13,–20).
Antibiotic resistance occurs when the germs no longer respond to the antibiotics designed to kill them. If these germs develop resistance to vancomycin, an antibiotic that is used to treat some drug-resistant infections, they become vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE).
Enterococcal septicemia induces a severe inflammatory response, which can predispose patients to secondary bacterial infection, and this is associated with a high incidence of septic shock and multiorgan failure, which may contribute to the associated high mortality rate.
ICD-10 code Z16. 12 for Extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) resistance is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
If septic shock is documented, A41. 9 and R65. 21 can be coded. It is important to note that the adjective septic in other instances, such as septic encephalopathy or septic emboli, does not mean that A41.
A41. 51 (Sepsis due to Escherichia coli), and N39. 0 (Urinary tract infection, site not specified) would be reported as additional diagnoses.
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.
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. 9 (Sepsis, unspecified organism) for septicemia with no further detail.
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 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.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 041.04 was previously used, B95.2 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
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.
The ICD-10-CM Alphabetical Index links the below-listed medical terms to the ICD code A41.81. Click on any term below to browse the alphabetical index.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code A41.81 and a single ICD9 code, 995.91 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
In outpatient care, the ICD code on medical documents is always appended with a diagnostic confidence indicator (A, G, V or Z): A (excluded diagnosis), G (confirmed diagnosis), V (tentative diagnosis) and Z (condition after a confirmed diagnosis).
