Moderate We are confused about the value provided in the test deck for CMS1155 patients that meet the numerator. According to the measure guidance:
| Guidance | Because BMI norms for youth vary with age and sex, this measure evaluates whether BMI percentile, rather than an absolute BMI value, is assessed. |
|---|
In looking at our test information for CMS 155v9, there are 2 patients that should be in the numerator, Kirk Foster and Lisa Barton.
Kirk is 11 years and 5 months has a height of 5' and weight of 100. The percentile result given is 18.6%. Based on the CDC calculator, he is in the 78th percentile not the 18th.
Lisa is 17 years 4 months has a height of 66" and a weight of 165 The percentile given is 26.6%. Based on the CDC calculator, she is in the 97th percentile.
I need some clarification on if the test data is using BMI percent vs BMI percentile. We are given the LOINC code for percentile but the value doesn't match.
