Nondisp fx of cuboid bone of r foot, subs for fx w malunion

This code describes a fracture of the cuboid bone in the right foot that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical position. The "subsequent encounter" indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "malunion" specifies that the bone is healing in an incorrect or deformed position.

This code is appropriate for patients presenting for ongoing management of a previously diagnosed nondisplaced right cuboid fracture that has healed improperly. This includes visits for assessment of the malunion, planning for corrective procedures, or monitoring of symptoms related to the malunion. It should be used after the initial treatment phase for the acute fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies "right foot" for the cuboid fracture.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care and that the physician explicitly documents "malunion" of the fracture.
• Do not use this code for initial treatment of the fracture or for nonunion (failure to heal).
