ICD-10 for BMI — Body Mass Index ICD-10-CM Coding http://go.cco.us/icd-10-cm-full-course Q: [Body mass index for ICD-10] “I was recently coding a scenario where the patient was a 20 year old obese patient and received an error with the BMI code I selected. The error indicated the code I reported was not correct for the patient age. I used the adult codes. Why would this be wrong? Is it an error in our EMR programming?” A: This was a question that I find actually a number of people run in to pretty frequently in ICD-10. The reason that the person probably received this error had nothing to do with the programming and the claims scrubbing medical record, which is the question that they had. What you actually find in ICD-10 is that for body mass index, when a patient is considered an adult is not until the age of 21. They have to be 21 or older to be considered an adult in ICD-10-CM for body mass index. That’s different than what we’ve been taught in many other areas, most of the time we think 18 is an adult. That’s true except for body mass index for these cases.
