CalMHSA has reviewed the ICD-10 code changes that impact behavioral healthcare providers. Most eating disorders will now require an additional specifier. Also, 2 codes that used to be captured under âOther specified eating disorderâ have received their own codes. Also impacted was a social determinant of health. âInsufficient social insurance and welfare supportâ has been split into 2 separate codes.
Please note that most of these new options include an âunspecifiedâ option. This âunspecifiedâ version should be used when a more specific diagnosis cannot be clinically provided for any reason, but is still administratively required.
