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

This code signifies a fracture in the middle portion of the left femur's neck that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is currently receiving follow-up care for this fracture, which is healing slower than expected without surgical intervention.

Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing management of a previously diagnosed, non-displaced midcervical left femur fracture. This specifically applies when the fracture is closed (skin intact) and the healing process is documented as delayed.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for this specific fracture.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly described as "nondisplaced" and "midcervical" of the "left femur."
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
