Nondisp fx of olecran pro w/o intartic extn r ulna, 7thD

This code describes a follow-up visit for a patient with a right elbow injury involving a break in the prominent bony tip (olecranon process) of the ulna bone. The fracture does not extend into the joint space and is currently healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced olecranon fracture of the right ulna is presenting for routine follow-up care. This includes visits for cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or imaging to monitor healing progress, provided the fracture is closed and healing routinely.

• Ensure the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the olecranon process of the right ulna and is documented as nondisplaced and without intraarticular extension.
• Confirm documentation indicates "routine healing" for a closed fracture.
