Fx oth prt scapula, r shoulder, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture affecting a non-specific or less common part of the right shoulder blade, beyond the neck or body. The "G" suffix indicates that this is a follow-up encounter for a fracture that is not healing as expected, suggesting a complication in the recovery process.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing care for a right scapular fracture (excluding neck/body) where the physician notes delayed union or non-union. It would be used in subsequent visits after the initial treatment, when the fracture has not yet fully consolidated.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right" shoulder and "other part" of the scapula.
• Verify the "G" suffix is appropriate for delayed healing; other suffixes exist for routine healing or nonunion.
• Confirm this is not the initial encounter for the fracture.
