Nondisp fx of intermed cuneiform of unsp ft, 7thG

This code signifies a fracture of the intermediate cuneiform bone in the midfoot that has not shifted out of 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.

This code is appropriate for patients presenting for ongoing treatment of a previously diagnosed, non-displaced intermediate cuneiform fracture where the physician notes that the healing process is slower than anticipated. This might include follow-up appointments for cast changes, physical therapy, or imaging to monitor healing progress when delayed union is identified.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "nondisplaced" and identifies the "intermediate cuneiform" bone.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment, and that delayed healing is explicitly documented.
• Laterality (left or right foot) is unspecified in this particular code; if known, a more specific code should be chosen.
