Oth osteopor w crnt path fx, r humer, 7thG

This code signifies a patient presenting with a pathological fracture of the right humerus due to osteoporosis, where the fracture is not healing at the expected rate. It indicates that this is not the initial treatment encounter for the fracture, but rather a follow-up visit addressing the delayed healing process.

Apply this code for patients receiving ongoing care for a right humeral fracture that occurred secondary to osteoporosis and is exhibiting delayed union. Documentation should clearly state "delayed healing" or "delayed union" of the fracture, specify the right humerus, and confirm the underlying osteoporosis as the cause of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" or "delayed union" for the fracture.
• Verify the laterality (right) and bone (humerus) are accurately documented.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter for the fracture would use a different seventh character.
