Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Acute myeloid leukemia M6(a)(b)
- Erythroleukemia
Excludes1 inherited from the categories above C94.0
These are not written on C94.0, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing C94.0 with anything listed here is a denial.
Other codes that can never be billed with C94.0
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at C94.0. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading C94.0 alone.
Risk adjustment
C94.0 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 history
C94.0 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
