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

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a left femur fracture located below the lesser trochanter, which has not shifted from its original position. The fracture is being managed non-surgically or has been surgically stabilized and is now progressing through a normal healing process.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced subtrochanteric fracture of the left femur is receiving routine follow-up care. This includes visits for cast checks, physical therapy evaluations, or imaging to monitor healing progress, provided no complications or delayed healing are noted.

• Ensure the encounter is for routine healing of a closed fracture; open fractures or those with delayed healing require different codes.
• Verify the laterality (left femur) and the specific fracture location (subtrochanteric) are accurately documented.
• Confirm the fracture is indeed "nondisplaced" at the time of this subsequent encounter.
