Oth physl fx low end humer, l arm, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture affecting the growth plate at the lower end of the left humerus, which is not further specified as Salter-Harris type I, II, III, or IV. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is exhibiting delayed healing.

Apply this code when documentation indicates a left distal humeral physeal fracture, not otherwise classified, that is being managed in a follow-up encounter. This is appropriate when the provider explicitly notes delayed healing of the fracture.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "left arm" and "delayed healing" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify that the fracture is indeed a physeal fracture of the distal humerus and not another type of humeral fracture.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not an initial treatment, for the fracture.
