CHRPE (Congenital Hypertrophy of the Retinal Pigment Epithelium) ICD-10-CM Codes

While CHRPE is a benign lesion and typically doesn't affect vision, it's essential to differentiate it from other retinal conditions. Regular eye exams can ensure that the lesion remains stable and non-progressive.

No, CHRPE itself doesn't lead to vision loss. However, monitoring the lesion and differentiating it from other potential retinal conditions that might affect vision is crucial.

CHRPE is diagnosed through a comprehensive eye exam, especially with a dilated retinal examination. The lesion's characteristic appearance helps in its identification.
