Nondisp fx of prox 3rd of navic bone of r wrs, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture of the scaphoid bone in the right wrist, specifically in its proximal third, that is not displaced. It indicates that the patient is in a later stage of recovery, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed, non-displaced proximal scaphoid fracture of the right wrist that is progressing with routine healing. This includes appointments for cast changes, physical therapy evaluations, or imaging to assess healing progress, provided no complications are present.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "routine healing" and the fracture is indeed non-displaced and in the proximal third of the scaphoid.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Confirm laterality (right wrist) is clearly documented.
