About coding myeloid leukemia

The ICD-10-CM code for myeloid leukemia is C92.9 (Myeloid leukemia, unspecified). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on C92.9.

Within C92, choose C92.9 (unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: acute myeloblastic leukemia (C92.0), chronic myeloid leukemia, BCR/ABL-positive (C92.1), atypical chronic myeloid leukemia, BCR/ABL-negative (C92.2), myeloid sarcoma (C92.3), acute promyelocytic leukemia (C92.4), acute myelomonocytic leukemia (C92.5), acute myeloid leukemia with 11q23-abnormality (C92.6), acute myeloid leukemia with multilineage dysplasia (C92.A) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: C92.90 (not having achieved remission), C92.91 (in remission) and C92.92 (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.
