Nondisp fx of intermed cuneiform of r ft, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the intermediate cuneiform 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 "delayed healing" specifies that the bone is not mending at the expected rate.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing treatment of a right intermediate cuneiform fracture where initial treatment has already been rendered. This is appropriate when the physician's documentation explicitly states that healing is slower than anticipated or that the fracture has not united within the typical timeframe. This code would be used for office visits, physical therapy, or other follow-up care related to the delayed healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "intermediate cuneiform" of the "right foot."
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care and not the initial treatment.
• Look for physician notes indicating "delayed healing," "slow union," or similar phrases to justify this specific healing status.
