Disp fx of body of right calcaneus, subs for fx w nonunion

This code signifies a fracture of the main part of the right heel bone that is out of alignment and has not healed properly after the initial treatment. It indicates that the patient is presenting for follow-up care related to this specific complication, rather than for the initial injury or routine healing.

Use this code for a patient presenting with a previously diagnosed displaced right calcaneal body fracture where the fracture site is showing signs of nonunion. This applies when the patient is seen for ongoing management, evaluation, or treatment specifically addressing the failure of the bone to heal.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the "body" of the calcaneus.
• Verify laterality (right) is explicitly documented.
• Confirm the encounter is "subsequent" and not for initial treatment or routine follow-up of a healing fracture.
