The ICD-10 code for Monocytic leukemia, unspecified in remission is C93.91.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C93.91 – Monocytic leukemia, unspecified in remission

What it is

This code identifies a history of monocytic leukemia that is currently in remission. You use it when the disease is documented as inactive, but the specific monocytic leukemia type remains unspecified.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. In remission, active leukemia findings are absent or improved, and the record should support that the malignancy is no longer being treated as active disease.

When to use this code

Use C93.91 when the provider documents monocytic leukemia in remission and does not specify a more exact subtype. It is appropriate for follow-up visits, surveillance, or encounters where the leukemia remains part of the patient’s past or ongoing cancer history. Check documentation if remission status is unclear.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for active monocytic leukemia or when the chart says “suspected” or “rule out.” If a more specific leukemia subtype is documented, code that specific diagnosis instead.

Coding tip

Confirm both “in remission” and “unspecified” wording in the provider note before assigning C93.91.
