C. Disturbance in the way in which one’s body weight or shape is experienced, undue in-
fluence of body weight or shape on self-eval uation, or persistent lack of recognition of
the seriousness of the current low body weight.
Coding note:  The ICD-9-CM code for anorexia nervosa is 307.1,  which is assigned re-
gardless of the subtype. The ICD-10-CM  code depends on the subtype (see below).
Specify whether:
(F50.01) Restricting type: During the last 3 months, the individual has not engaged in re-
current episodes of binge eating or purging behavior (i.e., self-induced vomiting or the mis-
use of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas). This subtype describes presentations in which
weight loss is accomplished primarily through dieting, fasting, and/or excessive exercise.
(F50.02) Binge-eating/purging type: During the last 3 months, the individual has en-
gaged in recurrent episodes of binge eat ing or purging behavior (i.e., self-induced
vomiting or the misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas).
Specify if:
In partial remission: After full criteria for anorexia ne rvosa were previously met, Cri-
terion A (low body weight) has not been met for a sustained period, but either Criterion
B (intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat or behavior that interferes with weight
gain) or Criterion C (disturbances in self-perception of weight and shape) is still met.
In full remission: After full criteria for anorexia ner vosa were previously met, none of
the criteria have been met for a sustained period of time.
