This study examined the cost of outpatient care for eating disorders in Japan, comparing treatment costs between the Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychiatry departments. The actual cost of outpatient care for eating disorders in Japan was clarified. The results indicate that Psychosomatic Medicine departments have lower reimbursement points per interview time compared to the Psychiatry departments, but there were no noticeable differences in treatment outcomes between the two. This highlights the need to address this cost difference to improve the healthcare system for patients with eating disorders in Japan.
