ICD-10 Code E70.331 – Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E70.331 – Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome
What it is
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome is a rare inherited disorder that affects melanin production and platelet function. It is associated with albinism and a bleeding tendency.
Clinical signs
Common findings include oculocutaneous albinism, visual impairment, and easy bruising or prolonged bleeding. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome by name. It also applies when the record clearly identifies this specific inherited albinism-bleeding disorder. If the note only says albinism or a bleeding disorder without this diagnosis, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use it for nonspecific albinism, isolated platelet disorders, or other bleeding conditions without Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. Check documentation if the syndrome is not explicitly stated.
Coding tip
Code only when the diagnosis is clearly documented; if the chart is vague, query the provider.
