# BMI Coding Automation

## Description

Body mass index (BMI) provides a quick and easy way to estimate body fat based on height and weight and is often used as a screening tool to identify potential health risks associated with being underweight, overweight, or obese. ICD-10 Z codes describe factors influencing a person's health status, contact with health services, and social determinants of health. These codes are used to provide additional information about an encounter with a healthcare provider, especially when the reason for visit is not a disease or injury. Z68 codes are specifically designated for BMI.

For any patient 20 years or older, the BMI Coding Automation extension will automatically add and commit the corresponding ICD-10 Z code to the patient chart based on the BMI calculated from the patient's entered height and weight.

If patient has an existing Z68 code, the extension will update existing diagnosis code, making it easy to track progress over time.
