Nondisp unsp fx right great toe, subs for fx w nonunion

This code signifies a fracture of the right great toe (hallux) that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. The "nonunion" aspect indicates that the fracture has failed to heal completely after a typical healing period, and the patient is presenting for ongoing management of this complication.

Use this code when documenting a patient visit for continued treatment or evaluation of a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced fracture of the right great toe that has not healed. This applies to scenarios where the provider is addressing the persistent nonunion, such as considering surgical intervention, bone stimulation, or further conservative measures.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the right great toe.
• Verify the fracture was initially nondisplaced; if displacement occurred, a different code is needed.
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
