Fx unsp part of scapula, r shldr, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of an unspecified area of the right shoulder blade that is not healing as expected. It indicates that the patient is presenting for follow-up care of this specific injury, and the healing process is prolonged beyond the typical timeframe.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed right scapular fracture is experiencing delayed union or nonunion. It would be used when the physician documents that the fracture is not progressing towards healing at the anticipated rate, requiring continued medical management.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" or similar terminology for the right scapular fracture.
• Verify laterality (right shoulder) is clearly documented.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
