About F50.00

F50.00 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Anorexia nervosa, unspecified. It belongs to category F50 (eating disorders), block F50-F59 (behavioral syndromes associated with physiological disturbances and physical factors) 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 F50.0, choose F50.00 (unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: restricting type (F50.01) and binge eating/purging type (F50.02).

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 883 (Disorders of Personality and Impulse Control, relative weight 1.7697), 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 307.1 (Anorexia nervosa).
