If you have these on the following discharge is this correct?
Discharge diagnosis:
1. E. COli UTI with sepsis
2. Sepsis Syndrome
3. Advanced Dementia
4. Hypothyroidism-stable
5. Malnutrition
6. Dysphagia
E. Coli UTI with Sepsis-you code the sepsis. 995.91 cannnot be coded with 599.0. Leave out the 599.. The sepsis syndrome falls under 995.91.
I would code 041.1, 995.91, 294.10, 263.9, 787.20, 244.9
