Nondisp artic fx head of r femr, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the femoral head on the right side that involves the joint surface but remains in its anatomical position. The fracture has not yet fully healed and the patient is presenting for follow-up care related to this ongoing healing process.

Apply this code when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced articular fracture of the right femoral head is seen for subsequent treatment, such as cast changes, physical therapy, or imaging to monitor healing, and the fracture is documented as experiencing delayed healing. This code is appropriate for encounters occurring after the initial treatment phase but before complete union.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced," "articular," and "right femur head."
• Confirm the encounter is for follow-up care and not the initial treatment of the fracture.
• Verify that "delayed healing" is documented by the provider to justify the 7th character 'G'.
