Nondisp midcervical fx r femr, 7thM

This code signifies a non-displaced fracture located in the middle portion of the right femur's neck (cervical region). The fracture was initially an open fracture of either Type I or Type II, and the patient is now being seen for ongoing treatment due to the bone failing to heal properly (nonunion).

This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed non-displaced midcervical fracture of the right femur, initially an open Type I or II fracture, is presenting for management of a confirmed nonunion. This includes situations where surgical intervention or other treatments are being performed or planned to address the nonunion.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "nonunion" and the "subsequent encounter" status.
• Verify the original fracture was an open Type I or II, as this impacts the "M" seventh character.
• Do not use this code for initial treatment of the fracture or for routine follow-up without nonunion.
