Nondisp fx of base of nk of r femr, 7thD

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a patient who sustained a fracture at the base of the neck of their right femur, where the bone fragments remain in their normal anatomical alignment. The fracture is being managed non-surgically (closed treatment), and the healing process is progressing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent visits after the initial treatment of a nondisplaced right femoral neck fracture, when the fracture is stable and healing routinely. This includes office visits for cast checks, follow-up X-rays showing good callus formation, or physical therapy sessions during the routine healing phase.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "base of neck" for accurate site specificity.
• Confirm the encounter is for routine healing of a closed fracture; open fractures or those with delayed/nonunion require different codes.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing; use "A" for initial encounters or "G" for subsequent encounters with delayed healing.
