Nondisp unsp fx left great toe, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the left great toe that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. 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.

Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing management of a previously diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the left great toe. This is appropriate when the physician documents that the healing process is slower than anticipated, requiring continued intervention or monitoring.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" for the fracture.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the fracture is specifically of the left great toe and is non-displaced.
