Mult fx of pelv w/o disrupt of pelv ring, 7thG

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care of multiple fractures within the pelvic bones, specifically excluding those that compromise the structural integrity of the pelvic ring. The key characteristic for this particular code is that the healing process of these fractures is progressing slower than expected.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters where a patient with previously diagnosed multiple, non-displaced pelvic fractures is experiencing delayed union or nonunion. This would be used when the physician documents ongoing management for the slow healing of these specific fractures.

• Ensure physician documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" or similar terminology for the multiple pelvic fractures.
• Verify that the pelvic ring integrity is noted as intact or not disrupted; if disrupted, a different code would be appropriate.
• This code is for subsequent encounters; an initial encounter for the same injury would use a different seventh character.
