Unsp fracture of left ilium, subs for fx w routn heal

This code indicates a fracture of the left ilium where the specific type of fracture (e.g., displaced, non-displaced) is not documented. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Use this code for follow-up encounters when a patient is receiving routine care for an unspecified left iliac fracture. This applies when the physician's documentation confirms the fracture is progressing through normal healing stages. It is appropriate when the initial encounter code for the fracture was also unspecified.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "left ilium" and "unspecified fracture."
• Verify the encounter is for routine follow-up and not for delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
• Confirm the "D" seventh character is appropriate for subsequent care with routine healing.
