Nondisp transverse fx shaft of humer, r arm, 7thK

This code describes a situation where a patient has a right humerus fracture that runs across the bone's shaft, has not shifted out of alignment, and is currently failing to heal properly. This encounter signifies ongoing management of the fracture's nonunion.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is being treated for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced transverse fracture of the right humeral shaft that has not united. This includes scenarios involving continued conservative management, assessment for surgical intervention to address the nonunion, or post-surgical follow-up for a nonunion repair.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" for the fracture healing status.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the humeral shaft and is nondisplaced and transverse.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
