ICD-10-CM Code C90.10
Plasma cell leukemia not having achieved remission
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.C90.10 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of plasma cell leukemia not having achieved remission. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
The ICD code C901 is used to code Plasma cell leukemia
Plasma cell leukemia (PCL), a lymphoproliferative disorder, is a rare cancer involving a subtype of white blood cells called plasma cells. Plasma cell leukemia is one of the most aggressive human neoplasms and constitutes 2% to 4% of all cases of plasma cell disorders. The WHO criterion for diagnosis of PCL is that plasma cells constitute more than 20% of cells in the peripheral blood with an absolute plasma cell count of more than 2 × 109/L. The presentation may be primary, de novo, or secondary, evolving from an existing case of multiple myeloma as part of the terminal phase of the disease. Approximately 60 to 70% of cases are primary.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 203.10 was previously used, C90.10 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
