Fracture oth prt scapula, r shoulder, subs for fx w nonunion

This code signifies a fracture affecting a non-specific part of the right scapula, excluding the acromial process or coracoid process. The key aspect is that the fracture has failed to heal properly, indicating a nonunion, and the patient is receiving ongoing treatment for this complication.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a right scapular fracture (not specified as acromial or coracoid) that has not united, and the patient is presenting for follow-up care, surgical intervention for nonunion, or other management related to the persistent fracture. This is appropriate for subsequent encounters after the initial treatment of the fracture.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "nonunion" for the fracture.
• Verify the fracture location is on the right scapula and not specifically the acromial or coracoid process.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
