Wiki Pediatric BMI coding

[misrael]

When coding for pediatric BMI on a well child visit, ICD 10 code set of Z68 can no longer be a primary diagnosis. Can anyone advise what to bill as the primary diagnosis? Do you just bill the well child ICD 10 code? Thanks

Yes you would bill the well dx code as the primary code for the well visit. BMI codes can only be secondary codes
