How would I code?

1. Gangrenous left foot s/p left BKA.
2. Poorly controlled diabetes with inpatient initiation of insulin therapy
3. Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia with amputation of source.
4. Phantom pains as a result of amputation.

I was thinking - 250.82, 707.15, 785.4 and V49.75, is this correct?

How about:

1. 250.72 Diabetes with peripheral circulatory disorders. Underneath this code in the notes, it says to also code the manifestations and gangrene would be:
2. 785.4 Gangrene
3. 041.12 Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or V12.04 for history of if they are now diagnosed as MRSA free.
4. 353.6 Phantom limb (syndrome)

041.11

Actually it says Methecillin -sensitive staph aureus so it would be 041.11
