Nondisp fx of middle phalanx of right index finger, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the middle bone in the right index finger that has not shifted out of alignment. The patient is currently in a follow-up period where the fracture is healing slower than expected.

Apply this code when a patient presents for ongoing management of a right index finger middle phalanx fracture that is demonstrating delayed union. This would typically be used after the initial treatment phase, during subsequent visits to monitor healing progress.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "middle phalanx" of the right index finger.
• Confirm the encounter is for a follow-up visit and that delayed healing is explicitly noted.
• Verify the seventh character "G" is appropriate for subsequent encounters with delayed healing.
