ICD-10 code for lymphoid leukemia

The ICD-10-CM code for lymphoid leukemia is C91.9 (Lymphoid leukemia, unspecified). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on C91.9.

Within C91, choose C91.9 (unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: acute lymphoblastic leukemia [ALL] (C91.0), chronic lymphocytic leukemia of B-cell type (C91.1), Prolymphocytic leukemia of B-cell type (C91.3), Hairy cell leukemia (C91.4), adult T-cell lymphoma/leukemia (HTLV-1-associated) (C91.5), Prolymphocytic leukemia of T-cell type (C91.6), mature B-cell leukemia Burkitt-type (C91.A) and other lymphoid leukemia (C91.Z).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: C91.90 (not having achieved remission), C91.91 (in remission) and C91.92 (in relapse).

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