Excludes1 inherited from the categories above C94.82

These are not written on C94.82, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing C94.82 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on C94 Other leukemias of specified cell type

  • leukemic reticuloendotheliosis (C91.4-)
  • myelodysplastic syndromes (D46.-)
  • personal history of leukemia (Z85.6)
  • plasma cell leukemia (C90.1-)

Other codes that can never be billed with C94.82

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at C94.82. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading C94.82 alone.

Risk adjustment

C94.82 risk-adjusts. Under the CMS-HCC V28 model it maps to this category:

Coefficient shown for the Community Non-dual Aged segment. A higher HCC in the same hierarchy will suppress this one, so capturing it does not always add score.
