Nondisp fx of acromial pro, r shldr, 7thG

This code signifies a non-displaced break in the acromial process of the right shoulder that is not healing as expected. The patient is in a later phase of treatment, and the fracture union is progressing slower than anticipated.

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed non-displaced right acromial fracture presents with evidence of delayed healing. This includes situations where imaging shows incomplete callus formation or persistent fracture lines beyond the typical healing timeframe. It should be used when the patient is actively receiving care for the delayed healing, such as physical therapy or further medical management.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nondisplaced" and "right shoulder" for the acromial process fracture.
• Verify that the encounter is for follow-up care related to the fracture's delayed healing, not initial treatment or routine follow-up for a healed fracture.
• Always sequence this code with an external cause code if the cause of the fracture is known and documented.
