- In this video I explain how to code postprocedural infections in ICD-10-CM. Concepts from the Official Coding Guidelines Section I.C.2.d.5. Sepsis due to a postprocedural infection are covered in this video. Whether you're new to medical coding or looking to enhance your skills, the video offers quick tips and tricks to improve your coding abilities and boost your confidence. So, let's get started and happy coding!

Awesome job Claire. Thank you!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you. Can you please make video about coding mental health disorders, specifically Dementia and cognitive disorders
Sure, I will add that to my list! 😊
Can you go over Morel-Lavallee lesions and repeat procedures related to?
Sure, I can add that to my list. Thanks!
Thank you!
You're welcome, thank you for watching! 😊
Thank you, Claire 😊.
You're welcome! 😊
@@medicalcodingclarified I bet you are awesome to work with.
Thanks 😊 I work remotely, so I don't have a whole lot of interaction with my coworkers.
@@medicalcodingclarified lucky you 😊
😃
line #3 coding sepsis you have A41.9. I have found one article that the Coder said assigning code A41.9 unspecified organism does not provide any additional information that is not already included in code T81.44 therefore, no additional code is assigned for a unspecified sepsis. This is noted on page 25 of the first quarter 2017 issue of AHA coding clinic, which states that an unspecified code should not be assigned as an additional code when it does not provide any additional information. In order to maintain the major MCC status, the provider must specify the organism associated with the sepsis so that a code from A40-A41 can be assigned that specifies the organism. What are your thoughts on this guidance? I could not find the coding clinic mentioned to verify.
That is so interesting! I have never thought of that before. I am not sure what the correct answer is.
I think in theory, I agree with what you are saying. It might be redundant to add the unspecified sepsis code, but in practice, I think that it is the norm to do this and I have never heard of a denial because of this issue.
The coding clinic that you referenced is about coding unspecified asthma with COPD and the answer was the code also type of asthma note under COPD does not apply for unspecified asthma because "Unspecified" isn't a type of asthma. So not exactly the same topic but the concept could be transferable. Although I think with the sepsis coding one could argue that A41.9 Sepsis, unspecified organism does add the additional information that the organism causing the infection is not known. They can't always determine this and the patient would have to be on broad spectrum antibiotics rather than targeting the specific organism.
I will have to pick some brains on this one and maybe submit to coding clinic. If I hear anything I will let you know. Thanks for bringing this up!
@@medicalcodingclarified Thank you
Hi. Can you give your opinion on Pdx and how to code sepsis due to vp shunt with intestinal fluid and csf positive for bacteria. Vp shunt was placed one year ago. Doctor dx is sepsis due to vp catheter infection. Thanks
Hi! I would use T85.730A Infection and inflammatory reaction due to ventricular intracranial (communicating shunt, initial encounter followed by the code for the sepsis.
Hi madam can you upload videos of OB and NB...
Sure, I can add that to my to-do list. Thanks for watching! 😊
