Nondisp midcervical fx r femr, 7thE

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who sustained a fracture in the middle portion of the neck of their right femur. The fracture is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment, and it was an open fracture of either Type I or Type II, indicating a break in the skin. The encounter is specifically for routine healing of this open fracture.

Use this code for subsequent encounters where a patient is being monitored for the healing of a previously diagnosed nondisplaced midcervical fracture of the right femur that was an open fracture (Type I or II). This would include follow-up appointments, cast changes, or wound care related to the healing process, assuming no complications or delayed healing are present.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "midcervical" for the right femur.
• Verify the original injury was an "open fracture type I or II" and that the current encounter is for "routine healing."
• Do not use this code if the fracture is displaced, in a different location, or if the healing is complicated or delayed.
