Nondisp fx of neck of left talus, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a fracture of the neck of the left talus bone that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is in a phase of recovery where the bone is healing as expected without complications, and this encounter is a follow-up visit after the initial treatment.

Apply this code for follow-up appointments where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed nondisplaced left talar neck fracture. This includes visits for cast changes, physical therapy evaluations, or routine radiographic checks during the normal healing process.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left talus neck" to support this code.
• The "D" seventh character indicates subsequent care for a fracture healing routinely.
• Confirm the encounter is not for initial treatment or for a delayed/nonunion healing scenario.
