UNSPSC 85471964: Removal of neurostimulator lead from cerebral ventricle, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of neurostimulator lead from cerebral ventricle, percutaneous approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 00P63MZ

UNSPSC 85471964, Removal of neurostimulator lead from cerebral ventricle, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-outs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance programs, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—bear no connection to neurostimulator device removal or implantable medical procedures. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in state and local procurement systems, and the opportunities are tagged inaccurately rather than reflecting genuine demand for neurostimulator extraction services.

State and local buyers do not appear to be sourcing neurostimulator procedures themselves; when they fund such services, they do so through negotiated medical-plan carve-outs, managed-care vendor relationships, or employee health-plan benefits rather than direct procedure procurement. Business development professionals evaluating this code should watch for reclassification or consolidation with related implantable-device or neurosurgical-procedure codes as procurement taxonomies mature, but current activity does not justify pursuit strategy focused on this specific commodity.
