Other myeloid leukemia, in remission

This code signifies a diagnosis of a myeloid leukemia type that does not fit into other specific categories, and the patient is currently in a state of remission. Remission indicates a significant reduction or disappearance of disease signs and symptoms, though the leukemia may still be present at a microscopic level.

Apply this code when documentation specifies "other myeloid leukemia" and explicitly states the patient is in remission. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters or when the patient is receiving maintenance therapy after achieving remission. Supporting documentation must clearly indicate both the "other" myeloid leukemia type and the remission status.

• Do not use this code for myeloid leukemias that have a more specific ICD-10-CM code (e.g., acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia).
• Ensure documentation clearly distinguishes "other myeloid leukemia" from unspecified myeloid leukemia (C92.9-).
• Always sequence this code after any active treatment codes if applicable, or as the primary diagnosis for remission management.
