Nondisp fx of intermed cuneiform of l ft, 7thG

This code describes a situation where the intermediate cuneiform bone in the patient's left foot has a fracture that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is healing slower than expected.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the left intermediate cuneiform, and the physician documents that the healing process is prolonged. It would be used when the patient presents for an office visit, imaging, or other services related to the ongoing management of this specific fracture with delayed union.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "intermediate cuneiform" for the left foot.
• Confirm the encounter is for subsequent care and the physician notes "delayed healing" or "delayed union."
• Do not use for initial encounters or if the fracture is displaced or healing normally.
