Other oculocutaneous albinism

This code represents a rare, inherited disorder characterized by a generalized reduction or absence of melanin pigment in the eyes, skin, and hair, specifically for types of oculocutaneous albinism not otherwise specified by more granular codes. Patients typically present with varying degrees of hypopigmentation, visual impairment, and photophobia.

Use this code when documentation specifies a diagnosis of oculocutaneous albinism that does not fit the criteria for OCA1, OCA2, OCA3, or Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. This code is appropriate for other genetically distinct forms of oculocutaneous albinism or when the specific type is not yet identified but oculocutaneous involvement is confirmed.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "oculocutaneous albinism" and specifies it as "other" or "unspecified type" if a more precise code is not available.
• Do not use this code for ocular albinism (E70.31) where pigmentation is primarily affected in the eyes only.
• Code any associated visual impairments or dermatological conditions separately, if documented.
