Nondisp fx of middle phalanx of right ring finger, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a fracture of the middle bone of the right ring finger that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment. At this stage, the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

Apply this code for patients presenting for routine follow-up appointments after initial treatment of a nondisplaced right ring finger middle phalanx fracture. This includes cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy evaluations during the normal healing period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right ring finger" and "middle phalanx" to support this specific code.
• Confirm the "D" seventh character is appropriate for a subsequent encounter with routine healing.
• Do not use for initial treatment or for fractures with delayed or complicated healing.
