It is important to report these codes accurately as the BMI less than 20 or greater than 40 is considered a complication/comorbid condition (CC) in the Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Group (MS-DRG) methodology. These codes are also part of the HCC methodology as well as the Shared Services Program (SSP).
The Official Coding Guidelines state that the BMI may be documented by other clinicians, but the associated diagnosis (such as obesity) must be documented by the patient’s provider. This issue is also supported by the Coding Clinic which goes on to state that “overweight” must meet the conditions for reporting a secondary diagnosis.
For those who are reporting Hierarchical Condition Categories (HCCs), remember that morbid obesity (E66.01) is an HCC and would be supported by the BMI. Morbid obesity and obesity (E66.9) are always reportable when documented by the provider.
