2-part nondisp fx of surg nk of r humer, 7thG

This code describes a fracture of the surgical neck of the right humerus that has not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. The "2-part" indicates the fracture has created two distinct bone segments. The "subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing" specifies that this is not the initial treatment for the injury, and the bone is taking longer than expected to mend.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced, 2-part surgical neck fracture of the right humerus, and clinical or radiological evidence indicates the healing process is prolonged. This applies when the patient is still under active treatment for the fracture, but the expected healing timeline has been exceeded.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and "2-part" for the surgical neck of the right humerus.
• Verify that the encounter is for delayed healing, not routine follow-up or malunion/nonunion.
• Always pair with an external cause code if the cause of the fracture is known and documented.
