Nondisp fx of coracoid pro, unsp shldr, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the coracoid process of the scapula that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their anatomical position. The "G" seventh character indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care, specifically for a fracture that is healing slower than expected.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced coracoid process fracture who is experiencing delayed healing. This would include scenarios where imaging shows incomplete bone union beyond the typical healing timeframe, or the patient continues to experience significant pain or functional limitations due to the slow healing process.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies "delayed healing" for the subsequent encounter.
• Verify that the encounter is for ongoing management of the fracture, not for initial treatment or routine follow-up of a normally healing fracture.
• Do not use this code if the fracture is displaced, if it's the initial encounter, or if the healing is progressing as expected.
