ICD-10 Code C92.90 – Myeloid leukemia, unspecified, not having achieved remission (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C92.90 – Myeloid leukemia, unspecified, not having achieved remission
What it is
C92.90 identifies myeloid leukemia when the subtype is not specified and the disease has not gone into remission. Use it when the record confirms myeloid leukemia but does not document a more precise category.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly recorded findings may include signs of leukemia such as fatigue, infection, anemia, bruising, or abnormal blood counts, but the chart should support the diagnosis.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents myeloid leukemia, unspecified, and explicitly states it has not achieved remission. It is appropriate when the subtype is not further defined in the record. If the leukemia type or remission status is unclear, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use it if the record identifies a specific myeloid leukemia subtype or if remission is documented. Check documentation when the diagnosis is only suspected or when a different leukemia category is named.
Coding tip
Verify both the leukemia type and remission status in the provider note before assigning C92.90.
