UTI/Urosepsis
Hi All -
I am inquiring about a UTI/Urosepsis. I had a discussion with another coder who states that when you code a UTO/Urosepsis -- you should be 599.0 and 995.91. I feel and know this is wrong -- I would only code 599.0. Also, sepsis is not documented in the chart, but urosepsis is. I do not want to cause a problem, BUT I know coding those two together just doesn't look right. Anyone? PS - I know this was posted before but I can't seem to find it. Thanks

funny, this very question is in the April Issue of Coding Edge! Question number 6 on the test yourself part. Per page 33, to answer that question - appears 599.0 ALONE is the answer
