Nondisp fx of base of nk of r femr, 7thH

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who previously sustained a nondisplaced fracture at the base of the neck of their right femur. The initial injury was an open fracture, classified as Type I or II, and is currently experiencing delayed healing.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced open fracture (Type I or II) of the right femoral neck is being treated for delayed healing. This would include follow-up appointments for monitoring, wound care, or adjustments to treatment plans due to the slow healing process.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "base of neck" for the fracture site.
• Verify the initial injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that "delayed healing" is explicitly noted.
• This code is for subsequent encounters only; an initial encounter would use a different code.
