At National Convention the speaker hinted that coders can calculate BMI based on height and weight and code it when documented by a nurse or nutritionist AS LONG AS THE PROVIDER HAS DOCUMENTED THE EXISTANCE OF OBESITY. Does anyone have any further documentation/proof of this? I know guidelines states we can code BMI when documented by another provider but I don't see where it states we can "calculate" it...?
