Unsp fracture of right ilium, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies an unspecified fracture of the right ilium that is currently in a phase of delayed healing. It indicates that the initial injury has occurred, and the patient is now receiving ongoing care because the bone is not mending at the expected rate. The specific type of iliac fracture is not documented.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a right iliac fracture that has been identified as healing slowly. This is appropriate for subsequent encounters where the focus is on managing the delayed union of the fracture. It should be used after the initial treatment phase has concluded.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" or "delayed union" for the right ilium fracture.
• Verify laterality (right ilium) is clearly documented.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures healing normally.
