Which payers are still accepting sepsis per ICD-10 guidelines?

Does anyone know which payers, besides Medicare A/B and Medi-Cal, still accept sepsis per ICD-10 guidelines as opposed to SOFA-3?

  • Does anyone know which payers, besides Medicare A/B and Medi-Cal, still accept sepsis per ICD-10 guidelines as opposed to SOFA-3? Or does anyone know where I can find this information? Thanks.

  • Hi Barb, I can tell you that all payors we work with follow Sepsis 3 criteria with traditional Medicare being the exception. I would suggest you speak with the denials team (specifically DRG downgrades) at your facility. They can probably tell you which payers are denying Sepsis without organ dysfunction.

    Kind Regards,
