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

This code describes a supracondylar fracture of the humerus that is not displaced and does not involve the intercondylar region. The "subsequent encounter" designation indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and the "nonunion" specifies that the bone fragments have failed to heal together after a period of time.

This code is appropriate for documenting ongoing treatment of a simple supracondylar humerus fracture where the bone has not united. This includes situations where a patient is undergoing further evaluation, conservative management, or surgical intervention specifically for the nonunion of this particular fracture type.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nonunion" for this specific fracture type.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the fracture is "nondisplaced" and "without intercondylar fracture" to avoid incorrect coding.
