Nondisp fx of dist phalanx of r great toe, 7thK

This code signifies a fracture of the distal phalanx of the right great toe that is not displaced. It specifically indicates a subsequent encounter for the fracture, meaning the patient is returning for follow-up care, and the fracture has not healed as expected, resulting in a nonunion.

Use this code for follow-up visits where a patient's previously diagnosed nondisplaced distal phalanx fracture of the right great toe is confirmed to be experiencing nonunion. This would apply when the physician is assessing the ongoing healing process, planning further intervention for the nonunion, or managing complications related to the delayed healing.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the "distal phalanx" of the "right great toe."
• Verify the encounter is "subsequent" and explicitly mentions "nonunion" of the fracture.
• Do not use for initial encounters or if the fracture is displaced or located elsewhere.
