F98.2Other feeding disorders of infancy and childhood

F98.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other feeding disorders of infancy and childhood. It belongs to category F98 (other behavioral and emotional disorders with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence), block F90-F98 (behavioral and emotional disorders with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence) and chapter 5 (mental, Behavioral and Neurodevelopmental disorders). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within F98, choose F98.2 (Other feeding disorders of infancy and childhood) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: enuresis not due to a substance or known physiological condition (F98.0), Encopresis not due to a substance or known physiological condition (F98.1), Pica of infancy and childhood (F98.3), Stereotyped movement disorders (F98.4), adult onset fluency disorder (F98.5), other specified behavioral and emotional disorders with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence (F98.8) and unspecified behavioral and emotional disorders with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence (F98.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: F98.21 (childhood) and F98.29 (childhood).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of F98.2, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: anorexia nervosa and other eating disorders (F50.-), feeding difficulties (R63.3-), feeding problems of newborn (P92.-) and pica of infancy or childhood (F98.3).

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