What This Code Means

F98.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other feeding disorders of infancy and childhood. F98.2 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for mental, behavioral and neurodevelopmental disorders (f01-f99), within the section covering behavioral and emotional disorders with onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence (f90-f98).

Header codes like F98.2 cannot be reported on claims directly; they organize child codes that share clinical context. Coders should select the billable child code that matches the documented presentation and then verify its current source-backed HCC mapping. Do not infer a child code or risk adjustment value from the header alone.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for F98.2 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Excludes 2, Not included here, may code separately

  • anorexia nervosa and other eating disorders (F50.-)
  • feeding difficulties (R63.3-)
  • feeding problems of newborn (P92.-)
  • pica of infancy or childhood (F98.3)
