Disp fx of body of right calcaneus, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a follow-up visit for a patient who previously sustained a break in the main part of their right heel bone, where the bone fragments were not properly aligned. At this encounter, the fracture is showing expected progress towards healing without complications.

Utilize this code for subsequent encounters when a patient with a previously diagnosed displaced right calcaneal body fracture is undergoing routine follow-up care. This includes appointments for cast changes, wound checks, or imaging to monitor healing progress, provided the healing is proceeding as anticipated.

• Confirm the fracture is of the body of the calcaneus and on the right side.
• Ensure this is a subsequent encounter for the fracture, not the initial treatment.
• The "D" seventh character indicates routine healing; do not use for delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion.
