Nondisp fx of less tuberosity of l humer, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the lesser tuberosity of the left humerus that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "delayed healing" specifies that the bone is taking longer than expected to mend.

Use this code for a patient presenting for a follow-up visit for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced lesser tuberosity fracture of the left humerus. This applies when the physician documents that the fracture is not healing at the anticipated rate, requiring continued medical management or intervention.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and "lesser tuberosity" for the left humerus.
• Confirm the encounter is for follow-up care and not the initial treatment.
• Look for explicit physician documentation of "delayed healing" to support the 7th character "G".
