What is the ICD-10 code for CHRPE?

The ICD-10 code for Congenital Hypertrophy of Retinal Pigment Epithelium (CHRPE) is Q14.1. If associated with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP), use D12.6 as well.

How is CHRPE related to FAP coded?

When CHRPE is associated with FAP, use Q14.1 for CHRPE and D12.6 for FAP. Ensure documentation includes genetic testing results.

Code	Description	When to Use	Key Documentation
Q14.1	Congenital malformation of retina	Use for any presentation of CHRPE unless specifically linked to FAP.	Fundoscopic exam showing pigmented retinal lesions Documentation of lesion characteristics (e.g. unilateral bilateral)
D12.6	Adenomatous polyposis of colon	Use when CHRPE is part of a clinical picture of FAP.	Genetic testing confirming APC mutation Colonoscopy findings of multiple adenomatous polyps

Documentation & Coding Risks

Avoid these common issues when documenting Congenital Hypertrophy of Retinal Pigment Epithelium.

Omitting family history of FAP

Impact

Clinical: Missed opportunity for genetic counseling, Regulatory: Non-compliance with hereditary condition documentation, Financial: Potential loss of reimbursement for related services

Mitigation

Always inquire about family history during patient intake

Using Q14.1 alone when FAP is present

Impact

Reimbursement: Potential underpayment due to incomplete coding, Compliance: Non-compliance with coding guidelines for hereditary conditions, Data Quality: Inaccurate representation of patient's clinical picture

Mitigation

Include D12.6 when CHRPE is associated with FAP.

Incomplete coding of hereditary conditions

Impact

Failure to include all relevant codes for conditions like FAP.

Mitigation

Implement regular training on hereditary condition coding.
