Nondisp fx of nk of 3rd MC bone, r hand, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the neck of the third metacarpal bone in the right hand that has not shifted from its anatomical position. The patient is in a follow-up phase of treatment, and the fracture is progressing through a normal healing process.

Apply this code for patients presenting for routine follow-up appointments after an initial diagnosis and treatment of a nondisplaced right third metacarpal neck fracture. This includes scenarios where the provider is assessing healing, removing casts, or providing ongoing care during the expected recovery period.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and identifies the "third metacarpal" of the "right hand."
• Verify that the encounter is for subsequent care and that the healing is described as routine or uncomplicated.
• Do not use this code for initial encounters, nonunion, malunion, or delayed healing.
