Displ oth extrartic fx r calcaneus, subs for fx w routn heal

This code describes a fracture of the right calcaneus (heel bone) that is located outside of the joint and has shifted from its normal anatomical position. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, which is currently healing as expected without complications.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a displaced extraarticular fracture of the right calcaneus that is progressing through routine healing. This applies to situations such as cast changes, physical therapy evaluations, or routine radiographic checks during the healing phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right" calcaneus and "extraarticular" to support this code.
• The "D" seventh character indicates routine healing; do not use for delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
• Confirm the fracture is displaced; if not, a different S92.05- code would be appropriate.
