Nondisp fx of body of scapula, r shldr, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the main part of the right shoulder blade that is still in its correct anatomical position, meaning the bone fragments have not shifted. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and the "nonunion" specifies that the bone is failing to heal properly after a typical healing period.

Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing treatment of a previously diagnosed nondisplaced right scapular body fracture that has not united. This includes follow-up appointments, imaging studies to assess healing progress, or discussions about further interventions due to the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and identifies the "body" of the scapula on the "right" side.
• Verify the encounter type is for follow-up care of the fracture, not the initial injury.
• Confirm physician documentation explicitly states "nonunion" or indicates a lack of healing after an appropriate timeframe.
