ICD-10 Code F50.014 – Anorexia nervosa, restricting type, in remission (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F50.014 – Anorexia nervosa, restricting type, in remission
What it is
This code identifies a past episode of anorexia nervosa, restricting type, that is currently in remission. Use it when the patient no longer meets full active criteria, but the diagnosis remains clinically relevant.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. In remission, the record should support prior restricting-type anorexia nervosa and indicate improvement or absence of active diagnostic criteria.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician documents anorexia nervosa, restricting type, in remission. It is appropriate for follow-up visits, history review, or ongoing behavioral health care when the condition is not currently active. Make sure the note clearly distinguishes remission from active disease.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for active anorexia nervosa or for binge-eating/purging presentations. Check documentation if the type or remission status is not stated.
Coding tip
Confirm both the subtype and remission status in the provider note before assigning F50.014.
