Nondisp seg fx shaft of humer, l arm, 7thG

This code signifies a left humerus shaft fracture that involves a segment of the bone and has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a later stage of care, and the fracture is not healing at the expected rate.

Apply this code for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced segmental fracture of the left humeral shaft is experiencing delayed union. This includes situations where the physician is monitoring healing progress, adjusting treatment due to slow healing, or evaluating for nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "delayed healing" for the left humeral shaft fracture.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly described as "nondisplaced" and "segmental."
• This code is for subsequent encounters, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
