Other monocytic leukemia, in remission

This code signifies a diagnosis of monocytic leukemia, a type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), that is currently in a state of remission. Remission indicates that the signs and symptoms of the cancer have significantly decreased or disappeared, but the disease is not necessarily cured.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a patient has a history of monocytic leukemia and is currently in remission. This typically involves a physician's statement indicating "monocytic leukemia in remission" or similar language, often supported by laboratory findings showing no active disease.

• Always confirm the specific type of leukemia (monocytic) and the remission status.
• Do not use this code for active monocytic leukemia; a different code for active disease would be appropriate.
• Ensure documentation clearly distinguishes between "in remission" and "history of" without current active disease.
