About F45.22

F45.22 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for body dysmorphic disorder. It belongs to category F45 (somatoform disorders), block F40-F48 (anxiety, dissociative, stress-related, somatoform and other nonpsychotic mental disorders) and chapter 5 (mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within F45.2 (hypochondriacal disorders), F45.22 is specifically for body dysmorphic disorder. Related codes cover hypochondriacal disorder, unspecified (F45.20), Hypochondriasis (F45.21) and other hypochondriacal disorders (F45.29).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 882 (Neuroses Except Depressive, relative weight 0.9952), in MDC 19 (Mental Diseases and Disorders), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 300.7 (Hypochondriasis).
