What is the recommended course of action when you have a patient with a suspected bleed that has endoscopies that shows a gastric ulcer 'with no active bleeding'? There is a coding clinic from q1 2021 that provides guidance to code l99, other disorders of skin and subcutaneous tissue in diseases classified elsewhere for documentation. Does anyone have citations/definitions approved by medical staff for the term “metabolic or toxic encephalopathy due to etoh”? How do you feel about using ileus as an acute organ dysfunction to support the dx of severe sepsis? I hope you don't mind me tagging on to your post but i would like to confirm what others are doing. Increased risk however is not a part of the definition you cited from the guidelines. If the diagnosis was risk of coagulopathy then it absolutely would be integral and not reportable. See aha cc 1q 2016 pg 15 (and pg 14):

Increased risk however is not a part of the definition you cited from the guidelines.

We have a cdi consultant who states that this is acceptable.
I Believe The Coding Guidelines For Severe Sepsis Allows The Coders To Code.

If The Doctor Documents Coagulopathy Due To Coumadin, Is It Appropriate To Assign D68.32:
Does anyone have citations/definitions approved by medical staff for the term “metabolic or toxic encephalopathy due to etoh”? Hemorrhagic disorder due to extrinsic circulating anticoagulants? How do you feel about using ileus as an acute organ dysfunction to support the dx of severe sepsis?
