I'm OK with the sepsis part. I just don't know about the indwelling cholecystostomy tube. 996.69 (Due to other internal prosthetic device, implant, and graft) This code doesn't seem fitting for the tube. But, I could be wrong.
I am not familiar with an indwelling cholecystostomy tube, so the code I suggested seemed the closest, if you are able to find a better one then great.
