Nondisp fx of body of r calcaneus, subs for fx w malunion

This code signifies a fracture of the main part of the right heel bone that was initially in good alignment but is now healing incorrectly, resulting in a deformity. The patient is currently receiving follow-up care for this previously diagnosed and treated injury.

Apply this code when documentation indicates a patient is presenting for ongoing management of a right calcaneal body fracture that has healed in an unsatisfactory position. This includes scenarios where the malunion is being assessed, monitored, or undergoing further intervention (e.g., corrective surgery planning, physical therapy for malunion-related issues).

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "malunion" and specifies the "right calcaneus body."
• Verify this is a "subsequent encounter," meaning the initial treatment for the fracture has already occurred.
• Do not use for nonunion (failure to heal) or delayed union (healing slower than expected).
