Albinism

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 5 more specific codes instead:

E70.30 Albinism, unspecified
E70.31 Ocular albinism (also a header)
E70.32 Oculocutaneous albinism (also a header)
E70.33 Albinism with hematologic abnormality (also a header)
E70.39 Other specified albinism

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Albinism
