I just want to clarify correct dx codes:
What is the correct way to code the dx? Do you use Sepsis? The physician had cellulitis on the hospital FACE Sheet, but then in the op note had Septic bursitis. A lot of our physicians are not specfic and use Septic Elbow, Septic knee, etc.
May I have everyone's opinion on how these are billed?
Thanks,
Kim, CPC
