Nondisp intartic fx r calcaneus, subs for fx w routn heal

This code describes a fracture within the joint space of the right heel bone (calcaneus) that has not shifted from its normal position. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is healing as expected without complications.

This code is appropriate for follow-up visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced intraarticular right calcaneal fracture is being monitored for routine healing. This includes appointments for cast changes, wound checks, or physical therapy evaluations during the expected healing period.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "intraarticular" for the calcaneal fracture.
• Verify the encounter is for routine healing and not for delayed healing, nonunion, or malunion, which would require different seventh characters.
• Confirm the laterality is "right" as specified by the code.
