Nondisp fx of navicular of r foot, subs for fx w routn heal

This code signifies a non-displaced break in the navicular bone of the right foot that is currently in the healing phase. The fracture was previously diagnosed, and the patient is now receiving follow-up care for its routine recovery.

Apply this code for follow-up visits where a patient with a previously diagnosed, non-displaced right foot navicular fracture is being monitored for expected healing progress. This includes scenarios such as cast changes, physical therapy evaluations, or routine radiographic checks confirming satisfactory bone union.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "right foot" for accurate code selection.
• The "D" seventh character indicates a subsequent encounter for routine healing, not initial treatment or delayed healing.
• Confirm the fracture is of the navicular bone (also known as the scaphoid of the foot) and not the carpal scaphoid.
