Disp fx of med cuneiform of l foot, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the medial cuneiform bone in the left foot that has shifted from its normal anatomical position. The patient is currently in a phase of treatment where the fracture is not healing at the expected rate.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters for a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced medial cuneiform fracture of the left foot. It specifically applies when the physician documents that the fracture is experiencing delayed healing, requiring continued management.

• Ensure documentation specifies "displaced" and "left foot" for the medial cuneiform fracture.
• Confirm the encounter is for follow-up care and the physician explicitly notes "delayed healing."
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures healing normally.
