ICD-10 Code E70.329 – Oculocutaneous albinism, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E70.329 – Oculocutaneous albinism, unspecified
What it is
This code identifies oculocutaneous albinism when the record does not specify a subtype. It refers to a congenital disorder with reduced pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include very light skin and hair, reduced iris and retinal pigmentation, and visual problems such as nystagmus or reduced visual acuity. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use E70.329 when the provider documents oculocutaneous albinism but does not name a specific type. It also fits when the chart confirms albinism affecting skin, hair, and eyes, yet subtype details are unavailable. Check documentation if the note is ambiguous.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for isolated ocular albinism, acquired pigment loss, or other hypopigmentation disorders. If a specific oculocutaneous albinism type is documented, code that subtype instead.
Coding tip
Query for the exact albinism subtype when the documentation is incomplete, because E70.329 is only for unspecified oculocutaneous albinism.
