ICD-10 Code E70.30 – Albinism, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E70.30 – Albinism, unspecified
What it is
E70.30 identifies albinism when the type is not further specified. It refers to a congenital reduction or absence of pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes.
Clinical signs
Common findings include very light skin and hair, reduced eye pigmentation, and visual problems such as reduced acuity or nystagmus. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents albinism but does not name a specific subtype. It also fits when the record confirms pigmentary hypopigmentation consistent with albinism, but the exact genetic or clinical form is not stated. Check documentation if the diagnosis is uncertain.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for other causes of hypopigmentation, such as vitiligo or postinflammatory pigment loss. Do not assign it when a more specific albinism type is documented.
Coding tip
If the note only says “albinism,” code E70.30 unless a more specific subtype is documented elsewhere.
