Nondisp fx of nk of scapula, r shldr, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who previously sustained a fracture of the neck of their right scapula, where the bone fragments remain in their anatomical position. The encounter indicates that the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced right scapular neck fracture is seen for routine follow-up and the fracture is progressing toward healing. It would be used for visits where the physician assesses healing, provides ongoing care instructions, or removes casts/splints, assuming no new complications or delayed healing.

• Ensure the "D" seventh character is selected only for subsequent encounters where routine healing is documented.
• Verify laterality (right shoulder) and the specific anatomical site (neck of scapula) are accurately reflected.
• Do not use this code for initial treatment or if the fracture is experiencing delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
