Nondisp fx of epiphy (separation) (upper) of r femr, 7thD

This code describes a follow-up visit for a patient with a right femoral epiphyseal fracture that was not displaced at the time of injury. The fracture is currently healing routinely without complications, and the skin over the fracture site remains intact. This typically refers to a Salter-Harris type I or II fracture of the proximal femur.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced closed epiphyseal fracture of the upper right femur. This includes routine follow-up appointments, cast checks, or imaging reviews during the normal healing process. It should be used when the fracture is progressing as expected without any setbacks.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "closed" for accurate coding.
• Verify that the encounter is for "subsequent" care and that healing is "routine."
• Distinguish from initial encounters (A) or encounters with delayed/nonunion healing (G, K, P, S).
