ICD-10 Code C92.00 – Acute myeloblastic leukemia, not having achieved remission (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C92.00 – Acute myeloblastic leukemia, not having achieved remission
What it is
C92.00 identifies acute myeloblastic leukemia that remains active and has not gone into remission. Use it when the record specifies AML without remission status details beyond “not having achieved remission.”
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly, AML presents with marrow failure, such as anemia, infection risk, and bleeding tendencies, along with circulating or marrow myeloblasts.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician documents acute myeloblastic leukemia and clearly states that remission has not been achieved. It is appropriate for initial diagnosis or ongoing active disease when no remission is documented. If the subtype or remission status is different, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use C92.00 for AML in remission or when the chart documents a different leukemia subtype. If the record is unclear about remission status, check documentation rather than assuming this code.
Coding tip
Confirm both the acute myeloblastic leukemia diagnosis and the explicit “not in remission” language before assigning C92.00.
