ICD-9-CM 785.52 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 785.52 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015. For claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015, use an equivalent ICD-10-CM code (or codes).

Shock, septic
Clinical Information
Sepsis associated with hypotension or hypoperfusion despite adequate fluid resuscitation. Perfusion abnormalities may include, but are not limited to lactic acidosis; oliguria; or acute alteration in mental status
Shock caused by infection; frequently caused by gram negative bacteria, although some cases have been caused by other bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa; characterized by fever, chills, tachycardia, tachypnea, and hypotension
Code First
Code first underlying infection
Use Additional
Use additional code, if applicable, to identify systemic inflammatory response syndrome due to infectious process with organ dysfunction (995.92)
ICD-9-CM Coding Information
785.52 describes the manifestation of an underlying disease, not the disease itself.
