Unsp disp fx of surg neck of r humer, subs for fx w nonunion

This code signifies a fracture of the surgical neck of the right humerus where the bone fragments are not properly aligned, and the fracture has failed to heal after an initial treatment. The patient is presenting for follow-up care related to this non-healing fracture.

This code is appropriate when a patient is seen for ongoing management of a previously treated, but unhealed, displaced fracture of the right humeral surgical neck. This includes scenarios where surgical intervention or other treatments are being considered or performed to address the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" and specifies the "surgical neck" of the "right humerus."
• Verify that this is a subsequent encounter for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
• Confirm that the fracture is explicitly described as "displaced" in the medical record.
