Oth disp fx of upper end r humer, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture in the upper part of the right humerus that is not a surgical neck, anatomical neck, or epiphyseal fracture, and the bone fragments are no longer in their normal alignment. It specifically indicates that the patient is in a later stage of care for this fracture, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

Use this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced fracture of the upper right humerus (excluding surgical neck, anatomical neck, or epiphyseal types) is being evaluated for delayed healing. This would apply when the fracture site is not progressing towards union at the expected rate.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "other" type of upper humerus fracture and "displaced."
• Verify that the encounter is for subsequent care and explicitly mentions delayed healing.
• Always sequence this code after the primary fracture code for the initial encounter, if applicable.
