Nondisp fx of body of scapula, r shldr, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient who sustained a non-displaced fracture of the body of their right scapula. At the time of this encounter, the fracture is healing as expected without complications. This indicates the patient is progressing through the normal recovery phase.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed non-displaced right scapular body fracture is being monitored for routine healing. This includes appointments for cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or follow-up imaging that confirms satisfactory bone union. It should be used when there are no signs of delayed healing, nonunion, or other complications.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "right shoulder" for the scapular body fracture.
• Confirm the encounter is for routine follow-up and not for initial treatment or management of complications.
• Verify the "D" seventh character is appropriate for subsequent encounters with routine healing; other seventh characters exist for different healing statuses or initial encounters.
