C94.01 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for acute erythroid leukemia, in remission. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 820 through 822, 834 through 839, 850. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a complication or comorbidity (CC) and moves an inpatient stay to a higher severity level within its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 113 closely related codes. Coders also document this condition as acute myeloid leukemia in remission. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Leukemia in remission.
For Medicare Advantage risk adjustment, C94.01 maps to CMS-HCC Category 17 (Cancer Metastatic to Lung, Liver, Brain, and Other Organs; Acute Myeloid Leukemia Except Promyelocytic) under the V28 model, adding a risk factor of about 4.209 for a community, non-dual, aged beneficiary in payment year 2027.

Instructional NotesGuidance
Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to C94.01: its own notes plus those printed at C94, block C81-C96, and Chapter 2. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.
Excludes1
Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.
Excludes2
Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.
Notes
General instructions on how these codes are used.
- Functional activity
- All neoplasms are classified in this chapter, whether they are functionally active or not. An additional code from Chapter 4 may be used, to identify functional activity associated with any neoplasm.
- Morphology [Histology]
- Chapter 2 classifies neoplasms primarily by site (topography), with broad groupings for behavior, malignant, in situ, benign, etc. The Table of Neoplasms should be used to identify the correct topography code. In a few cases, such as for malignant melanoma and certain neuroendocrine tumors, the morphology (histologic type) is included in the category and codes.
- Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries
- A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion'), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere. For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous, such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned.
- Malignant neoplasm of ectopic tissue
- Malignant neoplasms of ectopic tissue are to be coded to the site mentioned, e.g., ectopic pancreatic malignant neoplasms are coded to pancreas, unspecified (C25.9).

Patient EducationClinical
Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Leukemia is a term for cancers of the blood cells. Leukemia starts in blood-forming tissues such as the bone marrow. Your bone marrow makes the cells which will develop into white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Each type of cell has a different job:

Questions About C94.01Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for acute erythroid leukemia, in remission?
The ICD-10-CM code for acute erythroid leukemia, in remission is C94.01 (sometimes written as C9401). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is C94.01 (Acute erythroid leukemia) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report acute erythroid leukemia, in remission on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does C94.01 group to?
When acute erythroid leukemia, in remission is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 834, 837, 821, 822, 836, 839, 838, 850, 835, 820, with relative weights from 1.1267 to 8.4076 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Is C94.01 a CC or MCC?
CMS lists C94.01 as a CC (complication or comorbidity) for FY 2027. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, it moves the inpatient stay to a higher-weighted DRG within its severity family. It does not count when the principal diagnosis is one of the 113 closely related codes in its exclusion list.
Can C94.01 be reported with a code from C91.4?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at C94, which applies to C94.01, lists "leukemic reticuloendotheliosis (C91.4-)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
What HCC is C94.01?
C94.01 (acute erythroid leukemia, in remission) maps to CMS-HCC Category 17 (Cancer Metastatic to Lung, Liver, Brain, and Other Organs; Acute Myeloid Leukemia Except Promyelocytic), commonly written as HCC 17, in the CMS-HCC V28 model used for Medicare Advantage risk adjustment in payment year 2027. It mapped to HCC 8 under the retired V24 model. It also maps in the PACE (CMS-HCC V22), ESRD (V21), and ESRD (V24) models. In the Part D prescription drug model it maps to RxHCC 19.
Does C94.01 risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage payment?
Yes. When documented and reported on a Medicare Advantage encounter, C94.01 adds a risk adjustment factor of about 4.209 to the beneficiary's RAF score for a community, non-dual, aged enrollee (published V28 weights range from 1.952 to 4.235 depending on the payment segment). HCC 17 sits at the top of its hierarchy, so no other condition category supersedes it. See the full factor table on the HCC 17 category page.
