Nondisp fx of acromial pro, l shldr, 7thG

This code signifies a left acromial process fracture that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical position. The "G" seventh character indicates that the patient is in a subsequent encounter for the fracture, and the healing process is delayed.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced left acromial fracture is experiencing slower-than-expected healing. It should be used when the provider documents delayed union or other indicators of impaired healing for this specific fracture.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "left shoulder" for the acromial process fracture.
• Verify that the encounter is a subsequent one for the fracture and that delayed healing is explicitly stated.
• Do not use this code for initial encounters, routine healing, or non-union; specific seventh characters exist for those scenarios.
