Oth osteopor w crnt path fx, r forearm, 7thK

This code signifies a patient presenting with a pathological fracture of the right forearm due to osteoporosis, where the fracture has failed to heal properly (nonunion). This is a follow-up encounter for the management of this ongoing fracture complication.

Apply this code when documentation indicates a patient is being seen for continued treatment or evaluation of a right forearm fracture that occurred due to underlying osteoporosis and has not united. The encounter must be subsequent to the initial fracture treatment and specifically address the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" of the fracture and specifies the right forearm.
• Verify the fracture is explicitly linked to osteoporosis (pathological fracture).
• Do not use for initial fracture treatment or for routine follow-up of a healing fracture; reserve for nonunion.
