ICD-10 Code C94.01 – Acute erythroid leukemia, in remission (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code C94.01 – Acute erythroid leukemia, in remission
What it is
This code identifies acute erythroid leukemia that is documented as being in remission. Use it when the malignancy is no longer active, but the diagnosis remains part of the patient’s history and follow-up.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Remission generally means there is no current evidence of active leukemia, though the patient may still need ongoing hematology surveillance and supportive care.
When to use this code
Use C94.01 when the provider explicitly documents acute erythroid leukemia in remission. It is appropriate for follow-up visits, monitoring, or encounters where the leukemia is not currently active but remains clinically relevant. Check documentation if the record only says “history of” or does not specify remission.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for active acute erythroid leukemia or when remission is not documented. If the chart is unclear, use the more accurate leukemia code supported by the provider’s wording.
Coding tip
Code the remission status only when it is explicitly stated in the provider note.
