Patient has just had a kidney transplant and the provider was contacted by the donor network and notified that the donor had MRSA bacteremia. How do you code this? I have not been coding the MRSA bacteremia, as it is not yet confirmed in the patient. I typically code 996.81 (complications of transplanted kidney) and E878.0. Would others agree, or does someone know of a better way to capture this?
Thank you!!
