If a claim documents an infection due to MRSA, and that particular infection has no “combination code” (including the causal organism), assign the appropriate code to identify the actual condition, along with 041.12 Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus in conditions classified elsewhere and of unspecified site (ICD-10: B95.62).
Diagnosis Code 510.0. ICD-9: 510.0. Short Description: Empyema with fistula. Long Description: Empyema with fistula. This is the 2014 version of the ICD-9-CM diagnosis code 510.0.
Using the DNRP, we identified all discharges between 1995 and 2009 associated with a primary or secondary diagnosis of empyema (ICD-10 codes J86.0 Pyothorax with fistula and J86.9 Pyothorax without fistula).
If a claim is filed with this diagnosis prior to receiving a positive on a patient’s labs, upon denial by Medicare, the patient should not be billed. You should report the service, however, because these measures may qualify hospitals to participate in pay-for-performance programs when Medicare ultimately factors in rates of MRSA infection.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a leading cause of hospital-acquired and healthcare-associated pneumonia. MRSA pneumonia accounts for 20% of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) and healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP) and 10% of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).

Like the MRSA is a multidrug resistant organism. The MRSE can be distinguished from the MRSA by its biochemical reaction to the Coagulase (enzyme which coagulates blood plasma). The MRSE is a coagulase negative. The same precautions need to be taken as that for the drug-resistant MRSA.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a cause of staph infection that is difficult to treat because of resistance to some antibiotics. Staph infections—including those caused by MRSA—can spread in hospitals, other healthcare facilities, and in the community where you live, work, and go to school.

At home — Treatment of MRSA at home usually includes a 7- to 10-day course of an antibiotic (by mouth) such as trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (brand name: Bactrim), clindamycin, minocycline, linezolid, or doxycycline.

When you breathe, your lungs take in oxygen from the air and deliver it to the bloodstream. The cells in your body need oxygen to work and grow. During a normal day, you breathe nearly 25,000 times. People with lung disease have difficulty breathing. Millions of people in the U.S. have lung disease.
General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
