So, when the documentation indicates HIV with sepsis, since with is considered a linking term (CC 4th qtr 2017 pg 101), and sepsis is in the CMS list of related conditions, are you coding to
I''ve noticed in a few cases that when I use the encoder I get a high SOI/ROM (4/4) but when the coding summary is saved the SOI/ROM is lower.
The sequencing rules require B20 as the PDX (I think), but DRG 977 is static - the reimbursement is very low, and hardly reflects the significant cost and LOS associated with treating
(ICD-10 code B20). CHSC Code Section 121022 (a) requires health care providers and clinical laboratories to report HIV infection by patient name to the local public health officer.
