About E70.32
E70.32 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for oculocutaneous albinism. It belongs to category E70 (disorders of aromatic amino-acid metabolism), block E70-E88 (metabolic disorders) and chapter 4 (endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.
Within E70.3 (albinism), E70.32 is specifically for oculocutaneous albinism. Related codes cover unspecified (E70.30), ocular albinism (E70.31), with hematologic abnormality (E70.33) and other specified albinism (E70.39).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: E70.320 (albinism), E70.321 (albinism), E70.328 (albinism) and E70.329 (unspecified).
Don't report E70.32 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: Chediak-Higashi syndrome (E70.330) and Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (E70.331).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
