Nondisp fx of cuboid bone of l ft, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the cuboid bone in the left foot that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and the "delayed healing" specifies that the bone is taking longer than expected to mend.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing treatment of a left cuboid fracture where the initial injury was nondisplaced, and the physician notes that the healing process is protracted. This would be used for office visits, physical therapy, or other medical services provided after the initial treatment phase, specifically addressing the delayed union of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "left foot" and "cuboid bone" for laterality and specificity.
• Confirm the fracture is explicitly noted as "nondisplaced" and that "delayed healing" is documented by the provider.
• This code requires a 7th character; "G" indicates subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing.
