ICD-10 Code F50.813 – Binge eating disorder, extreme (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code F50.813 – Binge eating disorder, extreme
What it is
F50.813 identifies binge eating disorder documented as extreme. Use it when the record specifically describes binge eating disorder with that severity wording.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Standard references describe recurrent binge-eating episodes, loss of control during eating, and distress related to the behavior.
When to use this code
Use this code when the clinician documents binge eating disorder and explicitly notes it as extreme. It may appear in psychiatric assessments, problem lists, or follow-up notes. If severity is not stated, check documentation before assigning this code.
Do not use for
Do not use it for overeating without a diagnosed binge eating disorder. Avoid this code when the chart only says binge eating disorder, but does not specify extreme severity.
Coding tip
Match the code to the exact severity term in the record; if “extreme” is missing, verify the provider’s documentation.
