What we also need is for AC to automatically select the Z code for BMI percentile based on the BMI of the visit. (AC already does this for well checkup codes based on patient's age, so they should be able to do the BMI codes!) The BMI percentile Z code is a HEDIS measure and several of our provider incentives programs will pay big bucks for having this code in the claim. Right now we are manually selecting the correct code:
Z68.51 percentile <5
Z68.52 percentile 5 to <85
Z68.53 percentile 85 to <95
Z68.54 percentile 95 and higher
