      ​​Thank you for your inquiry regarding CMS69v11: Preventive Care and Screening: Body Mass Index (BMI) Screening and Follow-Up Plan. Per the measure guidance, if more than one BMI is reported during the measurement period, and any of the documented BMI assessments is outside of normal parameters, documentation of an appropriate follow-up plan, during the encounter or during the measurement period, will be used to determine if performance is met. Therefore, in the scenario you provided, if a patient has multiple BMIs above normal parameters during the measurement period, the provider will need to document a follow-up plan at ANY of the qualifying encounters in order to meet the numerator criteria.

      If a patient has multiple qualifying BMIs in the year, and all of them are above normal parameters, does this patient need follow up on ALL qualifying BMI visit dates the LAST in the measure year, or at ANY of the qualifying visit dates?

       

      Thank you!
