Good morning!

I just want to be sure that I am coding septic emboli correctly. The patient has MSSA septicemia.

Are these the correct codes and sequencing?

995.91
038.11
415.12

Thanks

Please take a look on tabular list for 995.9*, the seq. of coding for sepsis.

Hope this helps! :)

Yes, now that you mention it, I looked at coding guidelines and found that the 995.91 is followed by the systemic infection (038.xx).

Thanks for your help!
