Nondisp fx of coronoid pro of r ulna, 7thH

This code signifies a fracture of the coronoid process, a small bony projection on the ulna in the elbow, that has not shifted from its original position. The injury is an open fracture (meaning the skin was broken) of either type I or II severity, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters when a patient is receiving ongoing care for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced open fracture (Type I or II) of the right ulnar coronoid process, and the physician documents delayed healing. It should be used after the initial treatment phase, during the period of continued management for the fracture.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the "right ulna" and "coronoid process."
• Verify that the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that "delayed healing" is clearly documented by the provider.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter code would be used for the first visit.
