Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of app-enhanced treatment for eating disorders (ED) on clinical outcomes and health care usage in patients receiving outpatient and intensive care.
- Results indicate that patients using the app experienced fewer emergency department visits and increased use of outpatient services, alongside notable weight gain among those who were underweight.
- The findings suggest that integrating digital health tools into ED treatment may improve patient engagement and health results, highlighting the need for further research on long-term benefits and cost-effectiveness.

This streamlined and more inclusive billing strategy may reduce administrative burden and support the financial viability of CSC programs.
