Is F50.024 an HCC code?
Yes. F50.024 (Anorexia nervosa, binge eating/purging type, in remission) maps to HCC 153, Personality Disorders; Anorexia/Bulimia Nervosa under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, with a source-labeled community non-dual aged reference coefficient of 0.396. Source-labeled code-level coefficients are references, not member totals. Actual contribution depends on complete member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and model year. HCC Buddy's RAF Calculator supports CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 and shows no score unless every required source and calculation check passes. It is billable for payment year 2026.
Coder answer: F50.024 is billable and maps to V28 HCC 153, Personality Disorders; Anorexia/Bulimia Nervosa. Open it in the Code Book for the tabular path, RAF, and MEAT checklist.

HCC Category Mapping
These are source-labeled model coefficients, not member totals. A category may still be removed by hierarchy or model cleanup rules. Weights are not directly comparable across models: CMS-HCC V28 and V24 use Community, Non-Dual, Aged; ESRD uses the dialysis continuing-enrollee model; RxHCC is the Part D continuing-enrollee, non-low-income, aged weight (a larger scale than CMS-HCC). ACA/HHS has no single weight — it varies by metal level. Actual per-patient RAF contribution depends on member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and the model year used by the payer. V28 is the CMS-HCC model phased in over payment years 2024–2026; V24 remains available for historical review.

MEAT review for F50.024
For F50.024, confirm that the documentation supports the diagnosis and meets the applicable coding, encounter, program and payer requirements. MEAT (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) is a review mnemonic, not a universal CMS coding rule.
- MMonitor: signs, symptoms, disease progression, or lab trending documented in the note
- EEvaluate: test results, medication response, or physical findings reviewed by the provider
- AAssess: explicit mention in the assessment or plan with acknowledgment of status
- TTreat: medication, referral, procedure, therapy, or counseling tied to the diagnosis

What This Code Means
F50.024 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for anorexia nervosa, binge eating/purging type, in remission. A severe eating disorder involving restrictive eating with binge eating and purging that is currently in remission or recovery. F50.024 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for mental, behavioral and neurodevelopmental disorders (f01-f99), within the section covering behavioral syndromes associated with physiological disturbances and physical factors (f50-f59).
Under the CMS-HCC V28 risk adjustment model, F50.024 maps to Personality Disorders; Anorexia/Bulimia Nervosa (HCC 153) with a source-labeled community, non-dual, aged reference coefficient of 0.396. No V24 mapping is shown for F50.024; use the applicable model and payment year when reviewing the V28 mapping. For CY2026 non-PACE Medicare Advantage, CMS uses 100% of the 2024 CMS-HCC model (V28). PACE uses a separate model blend. Source-labeled code-level coefficients are references, not member totals. Actual contribution depends on complete member context, hierarchy and cleanup rules, interactions, and model year. HCC Buddy's RAF Calculator supports CMS-HCC V28 PY2026 and shows no score unless every required source and calculation check passes.
Use this code only when documentation explicitly states the condition is in remission or recovery. For F50.024, confirm that the documentation supports the diagnosis and meets the applicable coding, encounter, program and payer requirements. MEAT (Monitor, Evaluate, Assess, or Treat) is a review mnemonic, not a universal CMS coding rule. When documentation is ambiguous, coders should issue a provider query rather than assume the highest-specificity variant.
HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for F50.024 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
Coding Tips
- •Use this code only when documentation explicitly states the condition is in remission or recovery
- •Remission status should be clearly documented by the treating provider
Clinical Significance
Anorexia nervosa, binge eating/purging type involves episodes of binge eating and/or purging (self-induced vomiting, laxative/diuretic misuse) in a patient who meets low-weight criteria for anorexia nervosa. In remission indicates prior full criteria were met but the patient has achieved sustained weight restoration and cessation of binge/purge behaviors. This subtype carries additional risks of electrolyte imbalances, esophageal tears, and dental erosion compared to the restricting type.
Documentation Requirements
- ✓Documentation of binge eating episodes and/or purging behaviors (vomiting, laxatives, diuretics) in the context of low body weight
- ✓Current BMI or weight documenting severity (Weight restored, cessation of binge/purge behaviors)
- ✓Distinction from bulimia nervosa (patient must meet low-weight criteria for anorexia nervosa)
- ✓Frequency of binge/purge episodes
- ✓Medical monitoring for purging complications (electrolytes, dental health, esophageal integrity, cardiac status)
Commonly Confused Codes
- •F50.01x (Anorexia nervosa, restricting type): NO binge/purge behaviors present in restricting type
- •F50.2x (Bulimia nervosa): patient is at NORMAL or above-normal weight, unlike anorexia nervosa binge/purge type
- •F50.81x (Binge eating disorder): no compensatory purging behaviors and typically overweight/obese
- •F50.00 (Anorexia nervosa, unspecified): use the specific type code when binge/purge behaviors are documented
- •E87.6 (Hypokalemia): common complication to code separately
