Oth nondisp fx of upr end l humer, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a non-displaced fracture of the upper portion of the left humerus, excluding the surgical neck, anatomical neck, or greater tuberosity. It indicates that the patient is in a follow-up phase of treatment, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for subsequent visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed, non-displaced fracture of the upper left humerus. This is appropriate when the fracture is progressing through routine healing and no complications or delayed healing are noted.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and identifies the "upper end" of the humerus, excluding more specific sites.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or encounters with healing complications.
• Verify laterality is clearly documented as "left."
