Nondisp fx of base of second MC bone, left hand, 7thD

This code signifies a fracture at the base of the second metacarpal bone in the left hand that is not displaced. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, 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 nondisplaced fracture of the left second metacarpal base. It should be used when the physician documents routine healing and no complications are present.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "left hand" for the second metacarpal.
• Verify the encounter is for subsequent care and not the initial treatment.
• Confirm the physician's assessment indicates routine healing.
