ICD-10 Code C92.0 – Acute myeloblastic leukemia (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C92.0 – Acute myeloblastic leukemia
What it is
C92.0 identifies acute myeloblastic leukemia, a fast-growing cancer of the bone marrow and blood. It reflects abnormal myeloid blasts replacing normal blood-forming cells.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings include fatigue, infections, bruising, bleeding, anemia, and evidence of circulating or marrow blasts on evaluation.
When to use this code
Use C92.0 when the provider documents acute myeloblastic leukemia or AML without a more specific subtype. It also fits when the record clearly supports myeloid blast leukemia and no alternate code is specified. Check documentation for subtype, remission status, or related genetic detail.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for chronic leukemias, lymphoid leukemias, or leukemia in remission unless the documentation supports C92.0. If the subtype is specified elsewhere, code that more exact diagnosis instead.
Coding tip
Review the pathology and oncology notes carefully; if the subtype is stated, assign the most specific leukemia code available.
