C92 — Myeloid leukemia
C92 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for myeloid leukemia. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
- personal history of leukemia (Z85.6)
Code also
Both codes may be needed to describe the encounter fully. Sequencing depends on the reason for the visit.
- , if applicable, pancytopenia (acquired) (D61.818)
Includes
Conditions this code covers.
- granulocytic leukemia
- myelogenous leukemia
Other codes that can never be billed with C92
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at C92. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading C92 alone.
Risk adjustment
C92 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 C92

Questions about C92
- Is C92 a billable ICD-10-CM code?
- No. C92 is a non-billable header code. Code to a higher level of specificity using one of its child codes.
- Where does C92 sit in the tabular list?
- Neoplasms (C00-D49), in the block Malignant neoplasms of lymphoid, hematopoietic and related tissue (C81-C96).
- What cannot be coded together with C92?
- C92 carries an Excludes1 note, which means the conditions it lists can never be coded together with it on the same encounter.
