Nondisp fx of base of nk of unsp femr, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture located at the base of the femoral neck that has not shifted out of alignment. It is used when a patient is receiving ongoing care for this specific type of closed fracture, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

Apply this code for follow-up visits, cast changes, or physical therapy sessions for a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced femoral neck fracture. This code is appropriate when documentation indicates the fracture is still closed and healing is progressing slowly.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "base of neck" for accurate coding.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care and not the initial treatment.
• Verify that the physician explicitly states "delayed healing" or similar terminology to justify this specific seventh character.
