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

This code signifies a fracture of the main part of the talus bone in the left foot that has not shifted out of alignment. It is used when the patient is receiving ongoing care for this fracture, and the healing process is taking longer than typically expected.

Apply this code when a patient with a previously diagnosed nondisplaced left talus body fracture presents for follow-up treatment, and the physician documents delayed healing. This would include scenarios where the fracture site is not showing expected callus formation or union progress at a subsequent visit.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "nondisplaced" and "body of talus."
• Verify the encounter is for subsequent care, not the initial treatment.
• Confirm physician documentation indicates "delayed healing" to justify the 7th character 'G'.
