HEDIS Tip Sheet
Supplemental Data Tips
• The BMI must be calculated AND documented in the chart by the office staff for the patient to meet the measure.
Documentation of height and weight ONLY does not meet the standard.
• BMI is calculated using the following equation:
BMI = weight (lb.)/ [height (inches)] ² x 703 OR BMI = weight (kg)/ [height (meters)] ².
