Atypical chronic myeloid leukemia, BCR/ABL-negative

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 3 more specific codes instead:

C92.20 Atypical chronic myeloid leukemia, BCR/ABL-negative, not having achieved remission
C92.21 Atypical chronic myeloid leukemia, BCR/ABL-negative, in remission
C92.22 Atypical chronic myeloid leukemia, BCR/ABL-negative, in relapse

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Atypical chronic myeloid leukemia, BCR/ABL-negative

How CDC's index refers to this code

Infiltrate, infiltration > lymphatic
Leukemia, leukemic > atypical chronic myeloid, BCR/ABL-negative
Leukemia, leukemic > chronic myeloid, BCR/ABL-positive > atypical, BCR/ABL-negative
