Hi,
I don't have much experience coding sepsis, but have read the notes in ICD-9 on it. The problem I'm having is, the physician I'm coding for (remotely) assessed sepsis as the primary diagnosis - with no mention of the infection type. Is there an unknown infection code, or what would you do? Thanks in advance.
