Class 2 Obesity ICD-10-CM Codes

Class 2 obesity is associated with a higher risk of developing conditions like diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and sleep apnea.

Class 2 obesity is diagnosed based on BMI calculations. To identify body mass index, healthcare providers must divide body weight in kilograms by height in meters squared. Afterward, the healthcare provider may conduct additional tests, including blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose levels.

Treatment options for class 2 obesity may include lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise, medications to control weight, and, in severe cases, bariatric surgery to reduce stomach size.
