Hi,
I have come across a scenario while coding ICD 10 and need help for finalising the codes. Kindly review the below scenario and advise.
Scenario-A patient is admitted with an infection of the gastrostomy site. Physician documentation confirms the blood culture result that gastrostomy site growth of Staphylococcal aureus has invaded the bloodstream.
Clarification- For the above scenario which code should we use A41.01 or B95.61 along with K94.22. Kindly advise.
