Nondisp midcervical fx r femr, 7thN

This code signifies a right femur fracture located in the midcervical region that is not displaced. It specifically indicates a subsequent encounter for an open fracture (Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) that has developed nonunion, meaning the bone has failed to heal properly.

Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing management of a previously treated open midcervical right femur fracture that was initially classified as Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC, and now exhibits nonunion. This is appropriate for follow-up visits, surgical interventions for the nonunion, or other treatments related to the unhealed fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "midcervical" for the right femur.
• Verify the original fracture was an open Type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC and that nonunion is explicitly documented.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for the fracture and not an initial treatment.
