Nondisp fx of coracoid pro, r shldr, subs for fx w nonunion

This code signifies a fracture of the coracoid process on the right shoulder that has not healed properly after an initial treatment attempt. Despite the fracture fragments remaining in their anatomical position (nondisplaced), the bone has failed to unite, indicating a nonunion complication. This diagnosis is made during a follow-up visit for ongoing management of the unhealed fracture.

This code is appropriate for documenting a patient's visit for continued care of a right coracoid process fracture that has been previously treated but shows evidence of nonunion. It should be used when the patient is seen for evaluation, treatment, or monitoring of this specific complication. This includes scenarios where further surgical intervention or conservative management for the nonunion is being considered or initiated.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the "right shoulder" and "coracoid process."
• Verify that the fracture is explicitly described as "nondisplaced" to accurately assign this specific code.
• Confirm this is a "subsequent encounter" for the fracture, indicating ongoing care after the initial treatment.
