If you’re a healthcare provider, coder, or caregiver, understanding ICD-10 code F50.01 is critical for diagnosing and medical billing anorexia nervosa, restricting type. Let’s break down what this code means, its symptoms, and how to use it accurately.
F50.01 classifies anorexia nervosa, as a restricting type, where weight loss occurs through fasting, dieting, or excessive exercise without binge-eating or purging behaviors. This code is billable and used in medical documentation to specify this subtype.
To assign F50.01, patients must meet these DSM-5 guidelines:
Always confirm the subtype in patient records to avoid coding errors.
Accurate use of F50.01 ensures proper care and reimbursement for patients with restricting-type anorexia. Always pair coding with detailed clinical notes to reflect the patient’s unique condition.
