Summary
BCBS Oklahoma requires documentation of BMI percentile and counseling for nutrition and physical activity for children/adolescents ages 3-17 during well-child or sick visits. This is for NCQA quality measure tracking with specific documentation requirements including BMI percentile calculations and evidence of nutrition/activity discussions.
Action Required
By May 18, 2026: Providers must ensure documentation includes BMI percentile (not absolute BMI), nutrition counseling, and physical activity counseling for ages 3-17 during all visits. Enable BMI percentile calculators in EMR systems. Update encounter templates to prompt nutrition/activity discussions and document date of service. Claims may be affected by quality measure reporting if documentation is incomplete.
