Hello all –
The OB group at my center are extremely insistent about putting a BMI in the Assessment & Plan for each prenatal care visit. (I am well aware of the 2019 ICD-10-CM guidelines state BMI should not be used during pregnancy.) Is there any risk associated with leaving the BMI code on:
1) a global OB prenatal care only claim (59425/59426)?
2) an EM prenatal claim pre-global time period?

Thank you in advance for your input. I don’t want to continue pursuing this issue unless there is an associated risk.
