Hello, I need some clarification, if you will on something. As it pertains to Risk Adjustment Coding, is the coder allowed to extract just the BMI code if documented, without any associated dx also being documented, such as obesity, morbid obesity, overweight? I understand that the BMI codes are secondary codes only so they cannot be primary dx codes, but as far as reporting for risk can the BMI code be reported alone if the provider did not document anything pertaining to the patient’s weight?
