Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. The ICD10 code for CML is C92.1. In the previous ICD9 coding system, the code for CML was 205.1. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment options.
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a type of cancer that affects the bone marrow and blood cells. It is characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal white blood cells. In medical coding, the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) is used to assign specific codes to various diseases and conditions.
The ICD-10 code for chronic myelogenous leukemia is C92.10. This code falls under the category of "Myeloid leukemia," which includes various types of leukemia affecting the myeloid cells. The C92.10 code specifically indicates chronic myelogenous leukemia, without specifying any particular phase or manifestation.
In contrast, the previous version of the coding system, the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9), had a different code for CML. The ICD-9 code for chronic myelogenous leukemia was 205.1. This code was used to identify and classify cases of CML in medical records and for billing purposes.
It is important to note that the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10 occurred on October 1, 2015, and healthcare providers and coders are now required to use the updated ICD-10 coding system. The ICD-10 codes provide more specificity and detail compared to their ICD-9 counterparts, allowing for better accuracy in documenting and tracking diseases like chronic myelogenous leukemia.
