Read this short guide to learn about AML ICD codes you can use!
Fact Checked by RJ Gumban.
What AML ICD-10 codes can I use?
There is much to pick from if you’re looking for AML ICD codes. Here are six examples to give you an idea of what to expect when looking for such codes:
For Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia
- C92.00 - Acute myeloblastic leukemia, not having achieved remission
- C92.01 - Acute myeloblastic leukemia, in remission
- C92.02 - Acute myeloblastic leukemia, in relapse
These codes are meant to be used on patients with Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia, a type of AML. The overproduction of abnormal myeloblasts characterizes this type of AML. These immature white blood cells can overcrowd certain areas and decrease the production of normal white blood cells, normal red blood cells, and platelets.
For Acute Myelomonocytic Leukemia
- C92.50 - Acute myelomonocytic leukemia, not having achieved remission
- C92.51 - Acute myelomonocytic leukemia, in remission
- C92.52 - Acute myelomonocytic leukemia, in relapse
These codes are meant to be used on patients with Acute Myelomonocytic Leukemia, a type of AML characterized by the increased or overproduction of immature neutrophil white blood cells and immature monocyte white blood cells.
Like the codes for Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia, you must use one of the three codes based on your patient’s cancer status.
Are these AML ICD-10 codes billable?
Yes. All of the aforementioned ICD-10 codes are valid and billable.
Clinical information about AML:
AML is short for Acute Myeloid Leukemia. This type of cancer occurs in the bone marrow and blood, and the overproduction of abnormal white blood cells characterizes it. The abnormal white blood cells are immature, and they don’t properly perform the functions of normal white blood cells.
These white blood cells can overcrowd certain areas, leading to more abnormal cells than normal and healthy ones. If there are more of these abnormal cells than healthy ones, it can cause the following problems:
- It can make the person anemic, and by extension, easily fatigued
- It’ll make the person feel dizzy and nauseous
- It can cause bleeding, fevers, and bone pain
- It can make them more susceptible to bacterial infections
- They will have shortness of breath and become pale
- If they have wounds, they won’t heal immediately or remain
Synonyms include:
- Acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome related to alkylating agent
- Acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome related to radiation
- Acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome related to topoisomerase type 2 inhibitor
- Myeloid leukemia in relapse
- Relapsing acute myeloid leukemia
- Myelomonocytic leukemia
- Myeloid leukemia in remission
- AML ICD 10
- ICD 10 code for AML
- ICD 10 AML
- AML ICD 10 code
- ICD 10 code AML
Commonly asked questions
Even with current advances in research, there still isn’t a definite cause for it. So far, findings point to genetics, and exposure to radiation and chemicals heightens the risk for AML to emerge in a person.
They will conduct physical examinations, complete blood counts, spinal taps, and bone marrow biopsies to check and confirm the AML.
It depends on the type of AML, but it will likely involve eliminating the abnormal cells produced by the cancer through chemotherapy. They might even resort to bone marrow transplants.
