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

This code indicates an unspecific fracture of the right pubic bone that is currently in a healing phase, but the healing process is taking longer than expected. It signifies that the patient has been seen previously for this injury and is now presenting for follow-up care related to the delayed union of the fracture.

Use this code for patients presenting for subsequent treatment of a right pubic fracture where the specific type of fracture (e.g., superior ramus, inferior ramus) was not documented, and the physician notes indicate delayed healing. This applies to follow-up visits, cast changes, or physical therapy sessions for this specific condition.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "right pubis" and "delayed healing" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify that this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
• If the specific pubic bone fracture is identified (e.g., superior ramus), a more specific code should be used.
