Nondisp unsp fx right great toe, subs for fx w delay heal

This code signifies a fracture of the great toe on the right foot that is not displaced and the specific bone involved is not documented. The patient is in a subsequent phase of care, and the fracture is experiencing delayed healing, meaning it is taking longer than expected to unite.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up care of a right great toe fracture that was initially nondisplaced and unspecified, and the physician's documentation explicitly indicates delayed healing. This is appropriate for ongoing management of the fracture, such as cast changes, physical therapy, or imaging to assess healing progress.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "delayed healing" for the fracture.
• Verify the laterality (right) and the specific toe (great toe) are documented.
• Do not use for initial encounters or for fractures that are healing normally.
