Disp fx of r ulna styloid pro, subs for clos fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the styloid process of the right ulna that is no longer in its anatomical position. The fracture is being treated non-surgically (closed treatment), but the healing process is taking longer than expected. This indicates a follow-up visit for ongoing management of this specific type of fracture.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters where a patient is receiving care for a displaced right ulnar styloid fracture that was initially treated non-invasively. It should be used when documentation indicates that the fracture is not healing at the anticipated rate. Examples include follow-up appointments for cast changes, imaging to assess healing progress, or physical therapy for a delayed-healing closed fracture.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "displaced" and "right ulna styloid process."
• Verify that the encounter is "subsequent" and the fracture is being managed as "closed."
• Confirm that "delayed healing" is clearly documented by the physician.
