Type 2 fracture of sacrum, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a sacral fracture that was initially classified as Type 2, indicating a fracture involving the neural foramina but not extending into the sacral canal. At this stage, the fracture is healing as expected without complications, and the patient is progressing through the normal recovery process.

Apply this code for patients presenting for routine follow-up appointments after a Type 2 sacral fracture, where the physician documents normal healing progress. This includes scenarios where the patient is undergoing conservative management and is not experiencing any setbacks in their recovery.

• Ensure documentation specifies "Type 2" sacral fracture and "routine healing" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care of the fracture, not for initial treatment or for complications.
• Do not use if the fracture is experiencing delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion; different codes apply for those scenarios.
