Other myeloid leukemia not having achieved remission

This code signifies a diagnosis of myeloid leukemia that does not fit into other specific categories and has not yet achieved a state of remission. This includes various forms of myeloid leukemia that are not otherwise specified or classified, indicating active disease.

Assign this code for patients diagnosed with myeloid leukemia where the specific type is not documented or does not align with other defined ICD-10-CM codes, and the physician explicitly states the patient is not in remission. This code is appropriate when documentation confirms active disease and a lack of complete or partial remission.

• Always sequence this code after the definitive diagnosis of the specific myeloid leukemia type, if known.
• Do not use this code if the patient is documented as being in remission; instead, use the appropriate remission code.
• Ensure documentation clearly states "not having achieved remission" or similar phrasing to support its use.
