Displ seg fx shaft of 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 middle section of their right thigh bone, where the bone fragments were separated and the fracture occurred in multiple pieces. The fracture is now being managed non-surgically (closed treatment) and is progressing through a normal healing process.

Apply this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced segmental shaft fracture of the right femur is receiving ongoing care for a closed fracture that is healing routinely. This includes office visits, follow-up imaging, or physical therapy sessions focused on the healing process.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" and "routine healing" for a closed fracture.
• Verify the fracture is indeed segmental and located in the shaft of the right femur.
• Do not use for initial treatment or if the healing is delayed, nonunion, or malunion.
