Nondisp fx of neck of left talus, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the neck of the left talus that is not displaced, meaning the bone fragments are still in their anatomical alignment. The "subsequent encounter" indicates the patient is receiving follow-up care for this fracture, and "delayed healing" specifies that the bone is not mending at the expected rate.

Use this code for patients presenting for ongoing treatment of a left talar neck fracture where imaging or clinical assessment confirms the fracture remains nondisplaced but is showing slower-than-anticipated healing. This applies to situations such as follow-up appointments, cast changes, or physical therapy sessions for this specific condition.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and "delayed healing" for the left talus neck.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care, not initial treatment or sequelae.
• Confirm laterality (left) is explicitly documented.
