Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM

C95.01 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for acute leukemia of unspecified cell type, in remission. It is valid for submission on a claim.

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above C95.01

These are not written on C95.01, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing C95.01 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on C95.0 Acute leukemia of unspecified cell type

  • acute exacerbation of unspecified chronic leukemia (C95.10)

Written on C95 Leukemia of unspecified cell type

  • personal history of leukemia (Z85.6)

Other codes that can never be billed with C95.01

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at C95.01. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading C95.01 alone.

Risk adjustment

C95.01 risk-adjusts. Under the CMS-HCC V28 model it maps to these categories:

  • HCC 18 Cancer Metastatic to Bone, Other and Unspecified Metastatic Cancer; Acute Leukemia Except Myeloid2.341 RAF
  • HCC 18 Cancer Metastatic to Bone, Other and Unspecified Metastatic Cancer; Acute Leukemia Except Myeloid2.341 RAF

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.

Medicare coverage

C95.01 is named in 23 Medicare coverage policies 21 listing it as supporting medical necessity, and 2 listing it as NOT covered. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
