About coding episiotomy puerperal infection
The ICD-10-CM code for episiotomy puerperal infection is O86.09 (Infection of obstetric surgical wound, other surgical site).
Within O86.0, choose O86.09 (other surgical site) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified (O86.00), superficial incisional site (O86.01), deep incisional site (O86.02), organ and space site (O86.03) and sepsis following an obstetrical procedure (O86.04).
Use an additional code (B95-B97), to identify infectious agent.
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
