ICD-10 Code E70.338 – Other albinism with hematologic abnormality (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E70.338 – Other albinism with hematologic abnormality
What it is
This code identifies a form of albinism that occurs with a hematologic abnormality. Use it when the record documents both pigment-related albinism and a blood or platelet disorder tied to the condition.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include reduced pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes, along with evidence of a hematologic problem such as bleeding tendency or abnormal platelet function. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use E70.338 when the provider documents “other albinism” and also notes a hematologic abnormality as part of the diagnosis. It may apply in genetic or specialty records where the albinism subtype is not otherwise specified. If the chart does not clearly link the blood abnormality to albinism, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for albinism without a documented hematologic abnormality. Also avoid it when the record describes a different specific albinism type or a separate blood disorder without a stated association.
Coding tip
Code the albinism subtype only when the provider explicitly documents the hematologic abnormality connection.
