Notes
Additional guidance from the ICD-10-CM tabular list.
- Codes in subcategory C91.0- should only be used for T-cell and B-cell precursor leukemia
Other codes that can never be billed with C91.0
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at C91.0. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading C91.0 alone.
- Z85.6Personal history of leukemia
Risk adjustment
C91.0 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
Code to one of these instead C91.0
