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

This code signifies a fracture of the main part of the right shoulder blade that has not shifted out of alignment. It specifically indicates that the patient is in a later stage of care for this injury, and the healing process is taking longer than expected.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced right scapular body fracture is experiencing delayed union or nonunion. It should be used when the physician documents that the fracture is not healing at the anticipated rate.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" or similar terminology for the fracture.
• Verify the fracture is specifically of the "body" of the scapula and on the "right" side.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment for the fracture.
