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

This code signifies a fracture of the pisiform bone in the wrist that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal 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.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing medical management of a pisiform fracture where the initial injury has already been diagnosed and treated. It is specifically applicable when the clinician notes that the healing process is slower than anticipated, requiring continued monitoring or intervention.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and identifies the pisiform bone.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Look for explicit documentation of "delayed healing" to support the 7th character 'G'.
