Unsp traum nondisp spondylolysis of sixth cervcal vert, 7thD

This code describes a follow-up encounter for a patient who sustained an injury to the sixth cervical vertebra, resulting in a traumatic spondylolisthesis that is not displaced and whose specific type is not documented. At this stage, the fracture is healing routinely without complications.

Use this code for subsequent visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed, nondisplaced, unspecified traumatic spondylolisthesis of C6 that is progressing through normal healing. This applies when the initial injury has occurred, and the patient is no longer in the initial active treatment phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing" for the fracture.
• Verify the spondylolisthesis is traumatic, nondisplaced, and located at the C6 level.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures with delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
