Oth fx head/neck of r femur, subs for clos fx w routn heal

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture affecting the head or neck of the right femur, excluding those specifically classified as intracapsular, transcervical, or subcapital. At this stage, the fracture is closed, meaning the skin remains intact, and is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code when a patient presents for a routine follow-up visit after initial treatment for a closed fracture of the right femoral head or neck, and the physician documents normal healing progression. This is appropriate for subsequent visits where the fracture has not yet fully healed but is on a typical recovery trajectory.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right femur" and "head and neck" as the fracture site.
• Confirm the encounter is for a "subsequent" visit and the fracture is "closed" with "routine healing."
• Do not use for initial treatment or for fractures with delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
