Nondisp fx of middle phalanx of left index finger, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the middle bone of the left index finger that is still in its original anatomical position (nondisplaced), but is not healing as expected. The patient is presenting for follow-up care related to this ongoing healing process.

Use this code for patients who have previously been diagnosed with a nondisplaced middle phalanx fracture of the left index finger and are now being seen for continued management due to delayed healing. This applies to encounters where the fracture has not yet fully united and requires further medical attention or intervention.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the left index finger's middle phalanx.
• Verify the fracture is nondisplaced; displaced fractures would require a different code.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment or a sequela encounter.
