What does subsequent encounter for closed fracture with nonunion mean does that mean nonunion is back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, it is used for coding purposes only and describes a follow up visit for such a fracture, not the conclusions after the visit that should have been communicated directly and/or captured on written recommendations.
