Additional Info
- Bacteremia is a lab finding, not a disease. Following our general rule, code symptoms, signs and diagnostic abnormalities when the underlying CAUSE is unknown. If that cause is known, then of course you must code it, and coding the abnormal finding is optional.
- So, if the patient has a known infection AND/OR Severe sepsis OR Shock, septic you MUST code those.
Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition
- Shock, septic
- Severe sepsis
- Any infection that is the source of this bacteremia.
- Fungemia, NOS
Candidate Combined ICD10 codes
- Code the organism. Template:ICD10 If you knew the organism then why would it be coded as NOS in the first place? Ttenbergen 23:22, 2017 November 17 (CST)
- Others, as mentioned above.
