Nondisp midcervical fx r femr, subs for clos fx w delay heal

This code describes a fracture in the middle portion of the neck of the right femur that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, indicating they are receiving follow-up treatment for a fracture that is not healing as quickly as expected.

Use this code for a patient presenting for ongoing management of a previously diagnosed, non-displaced midcervical fracture of the right femur. This applies when the fracture is healing slowly, requiring continued medical attention, such as repeat imaging, physical therapy, or medication adjustments, after the initial treatment.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "midcervical" for the right femur.
• The "G" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for a closed fracture with delayed healing; verify the patient's current stage of care.
• Confirm the fracture is closed; open fractures would require a different seventh character.
