Disp fx of acromial pro, l shldr, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the acromial process of the left shoulder that is no longer in its anatomical alignment. The patient is in a later stage of care for this fracture, specifically experiencing a delay in the expected healing process.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed displaced left acromial fracture, and the physician documents that the fracture is not healing at the anticipated rate. This includes scenarios where additional interventions or monitoring are required due to the delayed union.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" for the acromial fracture.
• Verify the fracture is of the acromial process and located on the left shoulder.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
