Nondisp fx of pisiform, unsp wrist, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient with a non-displaced fracture of the pisiform bone, located in an unspecified wrist. At this stage, the fracture is healing routinely without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits where a patient is being monitored for a previously diagnosed non-displaced pisiform fracture of an unspecified wrist, and the healing process is progressing as expected. It would be used after the initial treatment phase, during the routine follow-up period.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "routine healing" for this specific bone.
• This seventh character "D" indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; do not use for initial treatment or delayed/complicated healing.
• Verify that the laterality of the wrist (left or right) is not specified in the medical record to justify "unspecified wrist."
