Nondisp fx of ant pro of unsp calcaneus, 7thP

This code describes a fracture of the anterior process of the heel bone that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "malunion" specifies that the fracture has healed, but in an unsatisfactory or deformed position.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing treatment, evaluation, or management of a previously diagnosed nondisplaced anterior process calcaneus fracture that has healed incorrectly. This typically applies to follow-up appointments where the malunion is being assessed, monitored, or addressed.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies "anterior process" of the calcaneus.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care of the fracture, not initial treatment.
• Confirm the physician's assessment explicitly mentions "malunion" as the healing outcome.
