Unsp nondisp fx of surg nk of r humer, 7thK

This code describes a situation where the surgical neck of the right humerus was previously fractured, but the bone fragments have failed to heal together (nonunion). The fracture itself was not displaced, meaning the bone pieces remained in their normal alignment. This code is used for follow-up care related to this ongoing healing complication.

This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient is receiving treatment or evaluation for a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced fracture of the right humeral surgical neck that has developed nonunion. This includes visits for surgical intervention to address the nonunion, casting changes, physical therapy, or diagnostic imaging to monitor the nonunion's progress.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" as the healing complication.
• Verify the fracture location is the "surgical neck" of the humerus and on the "right" side.
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
