Unsp fracture of unsp calcaneus, subs for fx w routn heal

This code indicates a follow-up visit for a patient who sustained a fracture of the heel bone (calcaneus) where the specific location or type of fracture within the calcaneus was not documented. At this subsequent encounter, the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Use this code for follow-up appointments when a patient with a previously diagnosed, unspecified calcaneal fracture is progressing well through the healing process. This applies to routine check-ups, cast changes, or physical therapy sessions during the normal recovery period.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing."
• Verify that the initial fracture was indeed unspecified regarding the calcaneal location.
• Do not use for initial fracture treatment or for fractures with delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
