Nondisp subtrochnt fx r femur, subs for clos fx w routn heal

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who previously sustained a fracture in the subtrochanteric region of their right femur. The fracture is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their normal alignment, and the healing process is progressing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for subsequent encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced subtrotrochanteric fracture of the right femur is receiving routine follow-up care. This includes appointments for cast changes, wound checks, or imaging to monitor healing progress, assuming no new complications or displacement have occurred.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "right femur" for accurate code assignment.
• Verify the encounter is for routine healing of a closed fracture; open fractures or delayed/nonunion healing require different codes.
• Confirm this is a subsequent encounter, not the initial treatment encounter for the fracture.
