About coding monocytic subacute leukemia

The ICD-10-CM code for monocytic subacute leukemia is C93.9 (Monocytic 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 C93.9.

Within C93, choose C93.9 (unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: acute monoblastic/monocytic leukemia (C93.0), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (C93.1), juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (C93.3) and other monocytic leukemia (C93.Z).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: C93.90 (not having achieved remission), C93.91 (in remission) and C93.92 (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.
