Fx unsp part of unsp clavicle, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the clavicle (collarbone) where the specific location of the break is not documented, nor is it specified whether it's the left or right clavicle. The "G" in the seventh character indicates that the patient is receiving active treatment for the fracture, but the healing process is taking longer than expected.

Use this code for a patient presenting for follow-up care of a clavicle fracture that is not healing at the anticipated rate, and the medical record does not specify the exact part of the clavicle affected or the side. This applies when the patient is still under active treatment for the delayed union.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the clavicle fracture.
• Verify that the encounter is for active treatment of the fracture, not just routine follow-up after healing.
• If the specific site or laterality of the clavicle fracture is documented, a more specific code should be used.
