Nondisp fx of dist phalanx of r mid fngr, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the furthest bone in the right middle finger that is not displaced. The "G" suffix indicates that the patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a previously diagnosed nondisplaced distal phalanx fracture of the right middle finger. This code is specifically for situations where the healing process is not progressing as expected, requiring ongoing management.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and specifies the "right middle finger" and "distal phalanx."
• The "G" suffix is crucial and should only be used when delayed healing is explicitly documented by the provider.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care, not initial treatment, to justify the "subsequent encounter" designation.
