ICD-10 Code F50.814 – Binge eating disorder, in remission (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F50.814 – Binge eating disorder, in remission
What it is
This code identifies a history of binge eating disorder that is currently in remission. Use it when the disorder is no longer active but remains documented as an ongoing diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. In remission, the record may note prior binge episodes, reduced or absent loss-of-control eating, and improvement from active disorder criteria.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician documents binge eating disorder as “in remission” or equivalent wording. It may support follow-up care, behavioral health monitoring, or problem-list maintenance when the condition is still clinically relevant.
Confirm that remission is clearly stated in the note and not inferred from current improvement alone. If the documentation only describes past history without current relevance, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use it for active binge eating disorder or for nonspecific overeating without a documented disorder. Do not assign it when remission status is not documented.
Coding tip
Code remission only when the provider explicitly documents it; otherwise, verify whether an active disorder or a history code is appropriate.
