Disp fx of acromial pro, r shldr, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the acromial process of the right shoulder that is no longer in its anatomical position. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing, meaning it is taking longer than expected to mend.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed displaced right acromial process fracture, and the physician's documentation indicates that the healing process is prolonged or not progressing as anticipated. This would typically be used after initial treatment and during ongoing management of the fracture.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "displaced" and "right shoulder" for the acromial process fracture.
• Verify that the encounter is for subsequent care and that "delayed healing" is clearly documented by the provider.
• Do not use this code for initial encounters, malunion, or nonunion; separate codes exist for those conditions.
