Sep 9, 20205 yr I am looking for ICD 10 code for patient who was admitted to hospital for aspiration pneumonia then to skilled rehab with sepsis.
Sep 10, 20205 yr Primary would likely be A41.9 Sepsis, unspecified organism. If organism is mentioned you can look into A40.x or A41.x. Also R65.20 without septic shock or R65.21 with septic shock. Secondary should be J69.8 Pneumonitis due to inhalation of other solids and liquids.
Sep 22, 20205 yr Experts R65.20 is better Severe Sepsis choice due to secondary Aspiration pneumonia (J69.8 Pneumonitis due to inhalation of other solids and liquids). See Sepsis coding decision tree: http://decisionhealth.com/ICD-10/Homehealth/pdf/PVT-0715-Tool.pdf
