2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F50.024 – Anorexia nervosa, binge eating/purging type, in remission
What it is
This code identifies a past diagnosis of anorexia nervosa, binge eating/purging type, when the patient is currently in remission. Use it when documentation shows the disorder is not active, but the history remains clinically relevant.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. The record may note prior restrictive eating, binge eating, purging behaviors, or distorted body image, with current remission rather than active symptoms.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician documents anorexia nervosa, binge eating/purging type, in remission, or equivalent wording such as partial or full remission if supported by the note. It may apply during follow-up visits, history review, or behavioral health assessment. Code the remission status exactly as documented.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for active anorexia nervosa, other eating disorders, or unspecified remission status. Check documentation if the note does not clearly state binge eating/purging type.
Coding tip
Match the code to the exact subtype and remission wording in the chart; if either is unclear, check documentation.
