Nondisp fx of acromial process, right shoulder, init

This code signifies a break in the acromial process of the right shoulder, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. It indicates that the fracture is not displaced and is being treated for the first time.

Apply this code for a patient presenting with a newly diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the right acromion. This is appropriate for the initial visit where the injury is evaluated and treatment is initiated, and the skin over the fracture site remains intact.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right shoulder" for accurate code assignment.
• Confirm this is the patient's first encounter for this specific injury; subsequent care would require a different encounter character.
• Verify the fracture is closed; an open fracture would necessitate a different code.
