Nondisp dome fx right talus, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who sustained a fracture to the dome of their right talus, where the bone fragments remain in their anatomical position. The fracture is not healing at the expected rate, indicating a delayed union.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced right talar dome fracture is being evaluated for delayed healing. This would include office visits, imaging studies, or other interventions related to the ongoing management of the slow-healing fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the "dome" of the talus.
• The "G" seventh character indicates delayed healing, so confirm this is explicitly documented by the provider.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures that are healing normally.
