What is the ICD-10 code for acute myeloblastic leukemia?

The ICD-10 code for acute myeloblastic leukemia not in remission is C92.00, in remission is C92.01, and in relapse is C92.02.

How is acute myeloblastic leukemia documented?

Documentation should include genetic markers, blast percentage, and remission status to ensure accurate coding and treatment planning.

Compare key differences between these codes to ensure accurate selection

Code	Description	When to Use	Key Documentation
C92.00	Acute myeloblastic leukemia not having achieved remission	Use when AML is diagnosed and has not achieved remission.	Bone marrow or peripheral blood showing ≥20% myeloblasts Genetic testing confirming AML subtype
C92.01	Acute myeloblastic leukemia, in remission	Use when AML is in documented remission.	Bone marrow showing <5% blasts Documented complete remission status
C92.02	Acute myeloblastic leukemia, in relapse	Use when AML has relapsed after a period of remission.	Bone marrow or peripheral blood showing ≥20% blasts post-remission Documented relapse status

Documentation & Coding Risks

Avoid these common issues when documenting Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia.

Failure to document remission status

Impact

Clinical: Impacts treatment decisions and monitoring., Regulatory: Non-compliance with documentation standards., Financial: Potential for incorrect billing and reimbursement.

Mitigation

Ensure remission status is updated in each patient visit note., Use templates to guide documentation.

Using non-specific C92.0 code

Impact

Reimbursement: Incorrect DRG assignment leading to financial loss., Compliance: Non-compliance with coding specificity requirements., Data Quality: Inaccurate data for clinical and research purposes.

Mitigation

Ensure use of specific codes C92.00, C92.01, or C92.02.

Remission Status Coding

Impact

Incorrect coding of remission status can lead to audit findings.

Mitigation

Implement regular training on remission status documentation.
