Nondisp fx of neck of l rad, subs for clos fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the neck of the left radius that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal anatomical alignment. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "delayed healing" specifies that the bone is not mending at the expected rate.

Apply this code when documenting ongoing management of a non-displaced left radial neck fracture where the physician notes that healing is progressing slower than anticipated. This would be used after the initial treatment phase, during subsequent office visits or follow-up imaging.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "left radius neck" for accurate site and displacement.
• Confirm the encounter is for follow-up care and the physician's assessment indicates delayed healing.
• Do not use for initial treatment or if the fracture is displaced or healing normally.
