C95.0Acute leukemia of unspecified cell type

C95.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for acute leukemia of unspecified cell type. It belongs to category C95 (leukemia of unspecified cell type), block C81-C96 (malignant neoplasms of lymphoid, hematopoietic and related tissue) and chapter 2 (neoplasms). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within C95, choose C95.0 (Acute leukemia of unspecified cell type) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: chronic leukemia of unspecified cell type (C95.1) and leukemia, unspecified (C95.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: C95.00 (not having achieved remission), C95.01 (in remission) and C95.02 (in relapse).

Don't report C95.0 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: acute exacerbation of unspecified chronic leukemia (C95.10).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
