Nondisp simp suprcndl fx w/o intrcndl fx unsp humer, 7thG

This code describes a supracondylar fracture of the humerus that is not displaced and does not involve the intercondylar region, where the specific arm affected is not documented. It is used when the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and the healing process is progressing slower than expected.

Apply this code for patients presenting for follow-up appointments after initial treatment of a simple, nondisplaced supracondylar humerus fracture (unspecified side) when the physician notes delayed healing. This would include scenarios where imaging shows incomplete callus formation or persistent pain beyond the typical healing timeframe.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "delayed healing" for this subsequent encounter code.
• Verify that the fracture is described as "nondisplaced" and "simple" without intercondylar involvement.
• Confirm that the laterality of the humerus is not specified in the medical record.
